Second Bieber show in Dubai announced

A second Justin Bieber concert has been announced. The 19-year-old Canadian pop star will perform at Dubai Seven Stadium on May 5, a day after his first performance. "The Beliebers just won't let us off the hook," says Thomas Ovesen, the chief executive of the promoter Done Events. Tickets, priced from Dh350, are available at www.justinbieberdubai.com. Tickets for Bieber's May 4 show quickly sold out when they went on sale in September. In other Bieber news, his entry into a guest book on Friday at the Anne Frank House museum in Amsterdam sparked criticism on the museum's Facebook page. "Truly inspiring to be able to come here. Anne was a great girl. Hopefully, she would have been a Belieber," he wrote. This triggered a flood of comments on Facebook, many criticising Bieber for writing something they perceive to be insensitive. The museum's spokeswoman Maatje Mostart said the museum didn't see anything offensive in his remarks. – The National staff / AP
