When Justin Bieber hits The Palladium in Hollywood on February 14, he will have one large security team supporting behind him. According to TMZ, the manager of the venue used for his Valentine's Day concert will increase security measures of the sold-out gig by hiring extra guards to ensure that the event goes on as safe as possible.
The move apparently was taken by the organizers after a meet-and-greet event at Roosevelt Field Mall in New York in November 2009 turned into chaos. At the time, one girl had to be rushed to the hospital following aggressive pushing and shoving after employees at one of the stores falsely screamed out that Justin was in their store.
The incident forced the 15-year-old to post a tweet begging his fans to go home. "The event at roosevelt mall is canceled," his tweet read. "please go home. the police have already arrested one person from my camp. I dont want anyone hurt." He later posted another tweet, "Im sorry to everyone who was in Long Island at the Mall 2day. I was just trying to come meet fans and never meant to disappoint anyone."
On January 18, Justin Bieber has treated fans with his new single "Baby" which was released on iTunes. Days before the song came out, he offered a sneak peek with by posting a video of him singing the unplugged version of the tune accompanied by guitar on YouTube. His accompanying message read, "Spread the word and let's help make it my first ever #1 on ITUNES!!"
