Justin Bieber is facing a furious backlash after his headline set at Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival.

Fans hit out at the performance as "lazy" following his stripped-down approach on stage after the 32-year-old pop star performed on Saturday (April 11) night with a set that departed from expectations of a high-energy comeback — despite the singer getting a reported US$10 million (S$12.8 million) for the appearance.
