Bon Jovi lashes out at Justin Bieber

Bon Jovi has lashed out at Justin Bieber, calling the pop artist an “asshole.”

Bon Jovi has lashed out at Justin Bieber, calling the pop artist an “asshole.”


The musician claims Bieber has been disrespecting fans by turning up late to concerts.


"Do it once, you can be forgiven. Do it enough times and shame on you. They won’t have you back. Then it just becomes a cliché. It’s really not cool — you’re an a**hole. Go to f***in’ work!" Bon Jovi told the London Evening Standard.


"They run the risk of disrespecting their audience members who have worked hard to pay for their ticket, to give you the permission to take two or three hours of their lives — or in that kid’s case, 80 minutes of their lives," he added.


Does Bieber’s alleged tardiness and disrespect of fans XTL or are there acceptable reasons?
