    Despite his can-do attitude when it comes to bleached blonde hair, Justin Bieber just can't with his fans right now. Like, he's trying to can, but he can't. He just can't.

    True to form, the "Sorry" singer issued a public apology via Instagram, explaining that he will no longer be doing fan meet and greets due to his emotions. "I end up feeling so drained and filled with so much of other people's spiritual energy that I end up so drained and unhappy," he explained. "Want to make people smile and happy but not at my expense and I always leave feeling mentally and emotionally exhausted to the point of depression."

    Bieber went on to explain that there's too much pressure to live up to his fans' expectations, and that it's "a lot on my shoulders."

    Heavy is the head that wears the crown, or in this case, the cloth bandana.

    In all seriousness, though, it's clear that Bieber adores his fans despite needing to cancel his meet and greets, and we hope he ditches some of that unwanted spiritual energy soon.
