Justin Bieber's Justice World Tour has been struck by COVID-19.

The performance has been rescheduled for June 28. Refunds will be made available at the point of purchase, according to a statement posted on Twitter.
"Due to positive COVID results within the Justice Tour family, we will, unfortunately, have to postpone Sunday's show in Las Vegas," the statement read. "Justin is, of course, hugely disappointed, but the health and safety of his crew and fans is always his number one priority."
