Justin Bieber has been on Jimmy Fallon’s late night programs more than pretty much any show. The pair have bonded over the years, through drum-offs, dancing, interviews and more. He recently delivered a revealing and remarkably down-to-earth interview (following his VMAs performance which ended in tears) – it was one of the first indications of Bieber’s reinvention.
This week, Bieber returned to The Tonight Show once again, this time to perform Sorry, with a little help from The Roots. Slowing the track right back down, we get to hear it in gushing balladic form, complete with dimmed lighting, a bare stage, and a simple spotlight on the Biebs. Halfway through, the beat drops, the lights come up and the dance-floor hit emerges. The Roots back him up, and soon, four frantic backup dancers join The Biebs on stage, emulating the track’s hi-energy video clip.
In related news, Justin Bieber has announced the first leg of what’s looking like a massive world tour. For the Beliebers out here old and new, fingers are crossed for an Australian visit.
Justin Bieber’s fourth album Purpose is available now. Every single track also came with an accompanying video – check it out here.
