Bieber has been spotted in the Los Angeles area after recently canceling the rest of his worldwide tour due to "unforeseen circumstances."

After being spotted by TMZ near the beach in Southern California, Bieber said he plans on "just resting, getting some relaxation."

The musician has been in the global spotlight since he was a teenager, when he was discovered by Usher.
