Justin Bieber has taken it too far with his tour merchandise

Today is the day. No, sorry. Today is the day. In Seattle they’ll look back and say, that was the day that Justin Bieber’s Purpose world tour began. They’ll puff out their cheeks and shake their heads when they say that, such is the historic import of it all. After all, for months now Justin Bieber’s music, and his redemption, has been one of the biggest stories in the world.

We believe JB’s story of redemption and purpose is bigger than what’s happening currently in culture, and we wanted to create something that would complement his message.”

That’s just a long-winded way of saying Bieber’s marketing people are well aware that his audience has changed:

Justin’s merch will be available at PURPOSETOURMERCH.COM and at the shows.
