As Coronavirus continues to spread throughout China, infecting more than 43,000 people globally and causing more than 1,300 deaths so far, Justin Bieber has stepped forward to do whatever he can to support.

The young singer took to Instagram prior to the release of his album Changes to send his love to China “as a collective humanity,” saying that he has “made a donation to support.”

“I know it’s a very scary time in your country right now, but my prayers and support go out to you guys. You guys are amazing,” Bieber says in the clip, alongside a photo of his donation confirmation to Beijing Chunmiao Children Aid Foundation.

He also shouted out Chinese entertainer Kris Wu “for the conversation,” which likely inspired the singer to make this heartfelt donation.

The full caption on the post reads:

“Watching the news I couldn’t imagine how scary it would be if a new disease was effecting my wife and my family and friends. China we stand with you as a collective humanity and have made a donation to support. Whether it be this or the fires of Australia we all need to be there for each other. Shout out to my friend @kriswu for the conversation.”

In recent Justin Bieber news, the singer hosted a listening party for his new album that picked up attention from the media for all the wrong reasons.

The listening session was reportedly an extremely emotional affair. Bieber was seen to be weeping throughout the entire event. In the RS report, you can read that the artist was “crying profusely” and “heaving sobs” during his opening remarks, during which Bieber thanked manager Scooter Braun for his support and said the new album represents his “growth from a boy to a man.”

He reportedly continued to cry into wife Hailey Bieber’s neck as the album rolled on. At one point he mocked himself for crying so much. “I’ve gotta get it together… I’m gonna go shoot myself.” (He clarified he was joking, reports Variety.)

Bieber also had a hockey stick and a beat-up baseball with him and at one point started a game of catch with his friends. As for the music, lead single ‘Yummy’ is reportedly representative of the whole project, both for its so-called “R&Bieber” vibe and its thematic focus on marital sex.
