To say that Justin Bieber's decision to cancel the remaining dates on his Purpose world tour earlier this year didn't go unnoticed is understating the case just a smidge.

There was an enormous amount of speculation about the Canadian star's decision, with some maintaining that he should have completed the remaining dates and others saying that he did the right thing, rather than putting himself under more pressure.

Now, his manager Scooter Braun has addressed the situation in a new interview with CBS This Morning, saying that he'd talk about it when he's good and ready.

"Look, I think he'll decide to tell people when he's ready of what exactly happened," he said. "But I think he was making a decision, like he said, to protect himself. But he's 23 years old, now. And if he makes a decision as a man, as long as he's willing to listen to opinions and hear people out -- if he has true conviction -- I'm willing to have his back."

He added that making the decision to cancel the dates was 'extremely difficult' for Bieber.

In recent days, Bieber has been shilling for his new clothing line at H&M on social media, so it looks like we might be waiting a while to hear the full story.
