MUMBAI: Grammy award winner Justin Bieber stormed off the stage during a performance in Manchester after being booed by the crowd.

The 22-year-old singer was booed by the concert-goers as he spoke to them between songs, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

The audience wanted him to get on with his singing, so the "Baby" hitmaker dropped his microphone and walked off the stage on Sunday.

However, he soon returned and said: "Manc can't handle the talking so I won't talk."

"The reason why I was getting upset earlier was because I travelled across the whole world to come here and I dedicate my life to performing and bring smiles to people's faces," Bieber said.

"I feel that people were just not giving me the same respect back and it hurts a little bit so that's why. But we're gonna end it on this last song... 'Baby'," he added.

Bieber's London dates on his "Purpose" world tour have been controversial, as last week the singer blasted his fans at two different concerts.
