In a viral video, Justin Bieber is seen singing his 2021 hit Stay while drunk. Fans were really surprised at how good the singer sounded even while not completely in his senses.

Fans took to X to react to the video, with a fan quoting “Even drunk, he sounds perfect”. Others noted how Bieber is a really talented and skilled musician. However, a few fans dismissed Bieber’s talent and credited it to auto-tune.

Stay was released in 2021 by Justin Bieber and Australian singer Kid Laroi. The song was a major hit, ranking number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and winning the Song of the Year at the APRA Music Awards.

Why is Justin Bieber Not Singing Anymore?

Justin Bieber is one of the biggest stars on the planet, and his absence has been worrying fans of all ages. While he has been a debated personality throughout his career, even Bieber’s biggest haters must be remembering the days when his songs took over the world.

Bieber has not produced a studio album since Justice (2021) and has not featured as a lead singer in since Honest ft. Don Toliver (2022). This extended absence is mostly due to his health issues. His Justice World Tour was also canceled due to the same reason. In an interview with CNBC in 2022, Bieber revealed that his health was his top priority at the moment.

“I realized that I need to make my health the priority right now. So I’m going to take a break from touring for the time being. I’m going to be OK, but I need time to rest and get better.”

However, Bieber might be back to his singing ways very soon. In March 2023, speaking to Vogue Australia, his wife Hailey Bieber praised him for his unreleased studio album. “I can’t stop listening [to it]. Nobody knows what it is yet,” Said Bieber speaking of her husband’s seventh studio album, the details of which are not made public yet.
