49 fans Injured, Norway Mayor Launches Justin Bieber Gig Investigation
Norwegian authorities have launched an investigation after dozens of fans were hurt in chaotic scenes at a Justin Bieber gig on Wednesday (30May12).
Officials confirmed 49 fans were injured and 14 were taken by ambulance to hospital after thousands of excited devotees descended on Oslo to see the Biebs perform a surprise concert at the Opera House.
According to Tmz.com, Mayor Fabian Stang has now initiated an investigation to determine how the situation spun out of control.
Mayor says: “I have already called on the Emergency Planning Agency to examine the entire event from the planning stage to its implementation. We have to find out what went wrong and why it happened.”
Local police were on the verge of declaring a state of emergency before the free show, and reached out to Bieber to help them keep the peace.
Justin took to his Twitter to urge fans to remain calm, writing: “Norway – please listen to the police. I dont want anyone getting hurt. I want everything to go to plan but your safety must come first.”
The concert went ahead as planned despite crowd control concerns – Justin performed his hit Baby and other songs from his album Believe such as Be Alright and All Around The World.
