Bieber Fever Hits Liverpool!

Justin Bieber has arrived in Merseyside causing a "possible riot situation"...

Bieber Fever well and truly hit Liverpool yesterday when Justin Bieber arrived at his hotel ahead of his My World gig at the city's ECHO arena.

Hundreds of Beliebers crowded outside The Hard Days Night Hotel to catch at glimpse of the teen heartthrob, leaving JB trapped in a "possible riot situation".

According to TMZ, the 17-year old's tour manager was warned by police to keep the Biebster out of view of his avid fans after fears that if the Baby singer or his team waved at the girls outside, a riot could break out.

The website also claims police told Justin not to approach his balcony or windows to see his fans, or they will be forced to arrest him for "inciting a riot."

The Never Say Never star himself seemed taken back by the amount of fans that had descended outside his hotel, taking to Twitter to tweet a picture of the scene.

JB accompanied the snap with the post: "Outside our hotel…" before adding: "this is crazy. there are like thousands of people out there. love everybody but gonna try and get some sleep. please dont scream. lol"

Bieber then tweeted that he was trying to "work out the situation" in order to say hello to his fans and after negotiating with the authorities, the Canadian superstar was then able to wave to the crowds from his balcony.

More than 500 fans are thought to have congregated outside the hotel, with reports claiming that Liverpool has not seen such hysteria since The Beatles.

The BBC states that Merseyside Police were forced to close North John Street, with once teenage girl being hospitalised after falling in the crowd.

Despite rumours that Bieber had been warned he could be arrested police have since denied the allegations, with a spokesman telling the BBC: "Officers are working with the management of the hotel and with Justin Bieber's security team to ensure his safety, the safety of other guests and of the crowd."

They added: "Merseyside Police has at no time threatened to arrest Justin Bieber or members of his management team."

Justin is set to take to the stage in Liverpool tonight (11th March). Let's hope he managed to get some sleep…
