Justin Bieber leaves fans waiting an hour at hometown show

Justin Bieber frustrated fans at his hometown show in Canada on Thursday night by making another late appearance on stage.

The teenage superstar left his young fans waiting for nearly an hour before taking to the stage at Toronto's Air Canada Center for the first of two shows at the venue.

The Baby hitmaker, who hails from nearby Stratford, Ontario, was around 50 minutes behind schedule, according to a reporter for the Toronto Sun, and the young audience began chanting in frustration as the delay went on.

Bieber has previously upset fans and their parents by leaving them waiting for hours, and the latest controversy came just hours after the troubled singer was photographed spitting from a hotel balcony in Toronto.

The star returns to the stage at the Air Canada Center for a second gig on Friday night (26Jul13).
