Justin’s Grandfather Has Passed Away
Justin Bieber’s grandfather, Bruce Dale, passed away on Thursday, April 24, at the Rotary Hospice Stratford Perth in Ontario, according to his obituary, per PEOPLE. Dale was 80 years old. Just two days later, on Saturday, April 26, Bieber shared an emotional Instagram post alongside a 2009 throwback snap of him grabbing his grandpa’s cheeks while Bruce wrapped him in a warm embrace.
“Papa, I always took all ur money lol,” Justin humorously captioned, reminiscing about the $20 weekly allowance he’d use for snacks at Friday night hockey games. “Corn nuts, skittles, gum balls, chuck a puck, slush puppies,” he listed. JB didn’t hold back on Bruce’s fiery side either, shouting out junior hockey league refs his grandpa loved to roast. “My grandpa wasn’t shy in letting them know that they were being pieces of s—s,” Bieber joked. Justin then expressed his longing to reunite with Bruce in heaven, humorously imagining him watching from above.
“I can’t wait to see u again soon in heaven . Until then I know ur watching down probably still heckling Beatty or Fagon for missing that cross check call in the corner there lmfao. I will miss u. I will ache. And I’ll sit and let myself remember all of the wonderful times we’ve had,” JB wrote.

Justin Slams Paparazzi For Hounding Him
Bieber was recently caught in a heated moment earlier this week when he went OFF on paparazzi who were hounding him while he was in Los Angeles. Justin posted a video of himself leaving an establishment, visibly frustrated after being confronted by multiple photographers.
“Yo, enough is enough!” he yelled, pointing at the crowd. “I’m a human being, man! This ain’t a zoo. Y’all need to chill with this.” The Biebs didn’t stop there, telling one photographer, “You got your shot, now back up. This needs to stop!”
Hours later, he took to Instagram with a post addressing his issue with people taking pictures of him and refusing to give him space. Justin stated on his Instagram Stories that despite people urging him to leave Los Angeles, he refuses to be bullied into moving away from where his influence is most needed.
“It’s embarrassing but with that said, I want nothing to do with that as a grown adult with a wife and son,” he added. “I just want to be submerged in the culture learning from any and everyone. And be proponent and advocate for LOVE AND EQUALITY.”
