Justin Bieber was caught sleeping while attending the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in Indio, California, on Saturday night. The 29-year-old singer was watching a performance by Frank Ocean, who is a close friend of Bieber’s.

In a TikTok video, Bieber can be seen with his eyes closed and his head leaning back as Ocean sings ‘At Your Best (You Are Love).’ The video quickly went viral, with many people commenting on Bieber’s apparent boredom.

‘Maybe the sound of the ocean put him to sleep,’ one person wrote. ‘Is it past his bedtime?’

Ocean’s performance was met with mixed reviews from fans. Some people were disappointed that he started his set late and spent much of the time sitting down and facing away from the crowd. Others praised his vocals and the overall artistry of his performance.

Bieber, for his part, defended Ocean on Instagram, writing: ‘I was blown away by Frank Ocean’s Coachella performance. His art is simply unmatched. His style, his taste, his voice, his attention to detail all moved me deeply.’

Bieber’s sleeping video, however, seemed to contradict his praise. Some fans found it humorous, while others wondered if Bieber was being honest about his feelings for Ocean’s performance.

The incident also led to questions about Bieber’s relationship with his wife, Hailey Bieber. The couple has been dealing with rumors of infidelity after Hailey was spotted having lunch with Bieber’s ex-girlfriend, Selena Gomez.

 

This isn’t the first time that Bieber has been caught sleeping in public. In 2014, he was photographed sleeping on a bench in New York City.

Bieber has been open about his struggles with mental health and addiction in recent years. He canceled his world tour in 2023 to focus on his health.
