This past few days especially this week we have the return of the classic sound of Top 40.

If you are not familiar with it, it resembles the sound of the 70s, fused with some elements of the 80s. In other words, the pinnacle of the sound of pop music in the 90s.

This return I am talking about is very evident in songs like Little Talk and Capital Cities – Sound and Safe.

This was the rumor that spread on social media today.

This came out following a news that Justin Bieber was rushed to the hospital after his concert at 02 Arena.

Here is what really happened.

The pop star was just actually taken care of by the doctors as they found out that he had suffered from breathing problem, this all happened during his concert at the O2 Arena in London.

Insiders says that after a series of performances on his concert, Justin was forced to take a twenty minute rest before he was advised to go on with the show.

The event was the second the last of a series of a 4 night concert at the O2.

Just recently, netizens bombard the singer on social media about his being late on concerts. Fans were booing the singer as they were waiting for several minutes before he appears.

Despite the production team’s effort to keep the concert going, the audiences noticed that the show is already lagging.

So Bieber’s manager had to come out and explain.

“Justin got very light of breath, the whole show he’s been complaining. He’s backstage with the EMTs [emergency medical team] and the doctor”

“They’re telling him they want him to go and see somebody and find out what’s going on with his lungs, he’s just told me that in five minutes, if it’s OK with you guys, he’s going to come out and finish the show.

“So he might not be jumping around as much and everything else, you guys need to be patient with us, we’re not trying to be disrespectful, we’re not trying to get you guys home late, we’re truly trying to put on a show for the people who love him.”

JB later tweeted a message to his 35.6 million followers on Twitter, in which he explained: “Getting better. Thanks for everyone pulling me thru tonight. Best fans in the world. Figuring out what happened. Thanks for the love.”
