Justin Bieber slammed his fans for being too noisy during his latest concert in Manchester.

The Canadian superstar, who called his audience ‘obnoxious’ in Birmingham earlier this week, has had another on-stage rant.

Upset that the crowd at Manchester Arena didn’t seem to be listening to him speak, the 22-year-old said:

“I just thought I could have a moment to say something. I can cut the b****** if you want.

“I’m trying to engage but if you guys don’t want to I’ll play the music.”

According to the Manchester Evening News, the singer had told fans to ‘stay quiet’ earlier in the evening as he attempted to perform a ballad.

“Try and stay as quiet as possible. You can scream as much as you want afterwards but while I'm singing try and stay quiet,” he said.

Bieber reprimanded fans at his Birmingham show on Tuesday night, telling the crowd to “stop screaming” as he performed.

“Guys, can you do me a favour? Can you guys just relax for like two seconds? I’m like two feet away from you, I can hear you,” he said after one song.

“I appreciate it, I appreciate all the love, it’s amazing, but can you show it in a different way? Screaming is just so obnoxious.”

Bieber went on to say that he found it ‘frustrating’ that the audience were screaming and not appreciating the music or what he was saying.

“Scream after the songs? Enjoy the songs, then scream, screaming is awesome. Screaming is fun.

“Then take a chill pill for a second and just listen to me speak. I don’t feel like I’m being heard some times and it gets a little frustrating.

“If, when I’m speaking, you guys could not scream at the top of your lungs. Is that cool with you guys?”

Bieber is currently on the UK leg of his Purpose world tour.
