- Is determined no shows will be cancelled
The 17-year-old star was advised not to go ahead with his opening show in Brisbane on Tuesday after injuring his back wake-boarding in Bali last weekend.
He arrived in Brisbane by private jet just 90 minutes before he was due on stage after delaying his departure from Bali to rest up.
"Crazy 24 hours of travel... back is messed up... but we are smiling. We finally made it. AUSTRALIA we are here", Bieber posted on his twitter account after his plane landed.
A doctor and chiropractor inspected the young star before the show and reportedly advised Bieber not to go ahead with the concert, which features several complex dance sequences.
Despite the advice of medical experts Bieber was determined the show go on.
His performance in Brisbane earned him rave reviews from the 12 000 fans in attendance.
The Never Say Never star also went ahead with a pre-show meet-and-greet with competition winners and VIP fans who paid top dollar for their one-on-one moment with the pint sized star.
Bieber's devotion to his fans did take its toll however, he tweeted after the concert's close:
"Gonna rest up... back is killing".
It is understood Bieber sought further medical attention when he arrived in Sydney yesterday afternoon but he has already made clear to his minders that he will not be cancelling any concerts.
"He's all about his fans and was saying he didn't care what anyone was telling him to do" a source said yesterday.
A spokesperson for Frontier Touring said they will await the advice of Bieber's minders regarding his condition and whether his Sydney shows tonight and tomorrow would go ahead.
