The Docuseries Chronicles Bieber’s Life Since His Last Album Released in 2015
YouTube’s official synopsis of the series teases that “For the very first time, the world’s biggest superstar, Justin Bieber, is pulling back the curtain and giving fans an intimate look into the past few years of his life. From the joys of marriage to the struggles through difficult seasons, Justin opens up to reveal his biggest challenges as he gets back into the studio to record his first album since 2015.” Bieber released Purpose in 2015; while his new album has not been released (with the exception of its first single and title song, “Yummy”), he has a 2020 tour scheduled so fans should anticipate the new album to drop around the time of the docuseries.
Justin Bieber’s battle with Lyme disease will be one of the subjects covered in the doc, and interviews with his musical collaborators as well as his wife Hailey Bieber, whom he married after a short engagement in 2018, will be included. He is also expected to discuss the events in his life that led him to cancel the remainder of his Purpose World Tour in 2017.
The DocuSeries Brings Bieber’s Career Full Circle, Since He Was Discovered on YouTube
It’s fitting that Bieber’s first documentary series is streaming on YouTube, since the platform is where he got his start. Bieber was discovered in 2008 on YouTube, after he gained viral popularity for the covers he was uploading to video on the site. Talent manager Scooter Braun signed him to RBMG Records that year, and his first EP, “My World,” was released with great success in 2009.
According to Variety, Bieber reflected on the significance of streaming his documentary series on YouTube: “When I was getting started, YouTube provided me a platform and a community where I could share music, experiences and moments with my fans. It feels great to partner with YouTube for this original documentary series. I want my fans to be part of this journey.”
