Baby singer closes down the wailing wall in Israel

Posted on Apr. 21st, 2011

Justin Bieber’s army of international fans led to one of the most popular icons in Israel being shut down last week.
The 17-year-old pop sensation went to visit the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem last week in some time off from his tour of the country.
Unfortunately for the ‘Baby’ star, he was unable to concentrate due to the large groups of girls gathered in the area. Hollywood Life claims that Bieber was surrounded by security guards which drew the attention of passing tourists.
The area around the wall was then shut down because the site couldn’t handle the fan frenzy.
After his performance in Tel Aviv last week, Justin Bieber enlisted hordes of security guards to keep fans and photographers away so he could visit religious landmarks in Jerusalem and “walk where Jesus did”.
He wrote on Twitter, “Last night after the show I was able to see Jerusalem… really incredible experience. Thank you for those who helped make it happen… Got to see the (Wailing) wall and the tunnels and even a sacred bath that Jesus could of bathed. Incredible.”
Most incredible is how very little Bieber and most American Christians actually know about Jerusalem today; or that 2,000 years ago the cross had no religious meaning and was not a piece of jewelry.

The 17-year-old, pop star has captured the entire world with his fever and is famous world wide. He went for trip to the south, where he was recognized by the tourists. They stopped and started taking pictures of Bieber, though he escorted with heavy security. It was a tough job for the security to stop the fans and the tourists, as the place could not manage the excitement of the fans. As a result, Bieber and the security closed the monument to escape from the tourists and the fans.
It is not for the first time he faced the problems being surrounded by the fans. He faced the similar problems with paparazzi in Israel, as he was captured by paparazzi, despite his request to respect his privacy, while he was visiting the holy places along with his family. He was annoyed with the media.
Now thats what we call as disadvantages of being famous!
