Hailey Bieber Lovingly Supports Husband Justin’s Rare Live Appearance

Hailey Bieber shared her support for her husband Justin Bieber’s return to live music on Friday, May 23.

Hailey, 28, was in attendance when Justin, 28, made an unannounced appearance during Kendrick Lamar and SZA’s Grand National Tour concert at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California. Justin joined SZA to perform their hit “Snooze” — and even planted a few kisses on her hand during the performance.

Hailey shared multiple videos from the concert via her Instagram Story, including three separate angles of Justin kissing SZA’s hand. She captioned the photo with an emoji of a face holding back tears and another emoji of a smiling face with hearts.

In another video of the performance, Hailey called Justin and SZA her “two favorite artists.” There have been multiple special guests during the Grand National Tour since it kicked off on April 19, including Lizzo joining SZA on stage the night before Justin’s cameo.

Friday’s appearance at SoFi Stadium marked the first time Justin has played live since a private concert at the Jio World Convention Centre in Mumbai, India in July 2024.

Justin’s rare live performance came days after Hailey marked her and Justin’s son Jack Blues turning nine months old on May 22. The couple welcomed their first child in August 2024.

A source exclusively told Us Weekly earlier in May that Hailey was standing by Justin despite recent controversies about his finances and run-ins with paparazzi. Justin also made headlines for publicly supporting Chris Brown following Brown’s recent arrest in the U.K.

“Hailey tries to be there for him as much as she can,” an insider told Us. “She is very patient and accommodating and helps him a lot. She is the most supportive wife, and he feels grateful to have her. They have been through a lot, but have been in a good place these last few months.”

A second source close to the Biebers said, “Hailey is a positive, good influence on Justin. She’s been a saving grace for him.”

Hailey opened up to Vogue earlier this month about her “very difficult” postpartum journey, which she insisted was exacerbated by intense speculation about her marriage.

“Being postpartum is the most sensitive time I’ve ever gone through in my life, and learning a new version of myself is very difficult,” she said. “And to be doing that all the while going on the internet every day and people being like, ‘They’re getting divorced and they’re this and they’re not happy’: It is such a mindf***. I cannot even begin to explain it. It’s a crazy life to live.”

Hailey credited Justin’s 15 years in the spotlight with helping her deal with the intense “scrutiny” that they both routinely face.

“I’ve learned so much from Justin, really,” she told Vogue. “He’s been doing this literally since he was a child and he has had to face the most scrutiny of any person that I know. He was like, ‘Baby, trust me, I’ve been here before many, many times. You’re not going to win. There is no winning.’”

The couple started dating in 2015, before getting engaged and later tying the knot at a New York City courthouse in 2018. The couple held a wedding reception for family and friends in South Carolina the following year.

“We love you and we got you, Pop! I just wanted to thank you all for the beautiful outpouring of love and support amid the recent news of My Father’s health diagnosis,” Alexa Ray, 39, wrote via Instagram on Saturday, May 24. “My Dad is the strongest and most resilient man I’ve ever known… and he’s entirely committed to making a full recovery with ongoing physical-therapy treatments as he continues to regain his strength.”

Alexa Ray quoted her father’s classic 1993 song “Lullabye (Goodnight, My Angel)” while thanking his fans from all over the world for their supportive social media messages.

“The genuine care, empathy, and concern from everyone means so much to him… it means a lot to me, too,” she concluded. “‘Someday We’ll All Be Gone / But Lullabies Go On And On / They Never Die / That’s How You And I Will Be.’ The music continues… ”

Billy Joel Is Releasing His 1st New Song in Nearly 20 Years

The “Piano Man” singer, 76, announced via Instagram on Friday, May 23, that he was cancelling “all scheduled concerts” due to being diagnosed with normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH).

NPH is a “brain disorder in which excess cerebrospinal fluid accumulates in the brain’s ventricles, which are fluid-filled chambers,” according to the Alzheimer’s Association. “As brain ventricles enlarge with the excess CSF, they can disrupt and damage nearby brain tissue, leading to difficulty walking, problems with thinking and reasoning, and loss of bladder control.”

Billy’s team explained via Instagram that NPH has caused “problems with hearing, vision, and balance,” which impacted other recent live performances. His doctors have now recommended that Billy stop performing while he undergoes “specific physical therapy.” (Joel last performed at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut in February.)

“He is grateful for the support from fans during this time and looks forward to the day when he can once again take to the stage,” his representatives said.

Billy added in his own statement, “I’m sincerely sorry to disappoint our audience. Thank you for understanding.”

In total, Billy cancelled 17 concerts that were supposed to take place in both the U.S. and England throughout the rest of the year. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee previously postponed multiple summer stadium concerts in March. At the time, Billy’s team simply said he was dealing with a “medical condition” and that “health must come first,” but stressed that the musician was “expected to make a full recovery.”

“I look forward to getting back on stage and sharing the joy of live music with our amazing fans. Thank you for your understanding.,” the musician said in March.

“Everybody in the world knows when you play The Garden, it’s not just New York,” Billy said at the time. “To our audience, I want to thank them for coming to our shows for this long. It’s hard to end, even at 150 lifetime shows. I just want to thank everyone for the wonderful thing that’s happened here.”
