Justin Bieber called his wife Hailey Bieber’s recent health issues “terrible” after technical problems hit his concert in Denver, Colorado on Wednesday.
Video taken from the concert shows the 28-year-old pop singer addressing Hailey’s recent ordeal after crashes plunged his show into darkness for 25 minutes.

“Life randomly throws cool balls at you,” Bieber told the cheering crowd. “You know, we can’t control much. You know, the power went out today.
“Obviously you guys know, most of you probably know or have seen the news about my wife, not sure if you guys have. She’s fine, she’s good. It was scary, you know, it was really scary, but I know for a fact that God has her in His arms.”
Justin’s show started off without a hitch when the pop star performed his hits Somebody, Hold On, Deserve You, Where Are U Now and What Do You Mean?, according to 9News.
Problems started only after his song Yummy. Bieber’s microphone cut off towards the end of the song. The huge video panels on the stage went out.

Earlier this week, it was reported that Justin would not leave Hailey during her traumatic ordeal.
Sources told People that Justin is “probably more traumatized than she is.”
“When it happened, there was a big panic. Justin was crying because you don’t expect your young wife to have stroke-like symptoms. Justin wrote to everyone he knew and asked everyone to pray for her and he never left her side,” the insider said.
Justin recently recovered from a bout with COVID-19 when he was forced to reschedule several dates on his tour, his first major set of dates since the end of the Purpose World Tour in 2017.

Hayley said she was admitted to the Palm Springs hospital last week for “stroke-like symptoms” and learned that she actually developed a “small blood clot.”
Sources told PEOPLE magazine that Justin was terribly worried about his wife, despite her pleas that he stay as stress-free as possible while she recovers from the incident.
“Hailey doesn’t want anyone to worry about her, but it was a terrible situation for both of them,” the insider said. “Justin is still very worried. He can barely sleep. He is awake, watching her while she rests.
The insider added: “He would do anything to help her. It was a moment for both of them to be reminded of mortality and focus on what really matters.
‘Hailey is his rock’: Sources describe ordeal Bieber and his wife recently went through
“He understands and tells those around him how much Hailey is his rock and how she saved him from the dark times… and that he needs to appreciate her every day. He will watch over her and help her in any way he can. And everyone around him is praying for her good health. This shocked him.
Hailey detailed the ordeal online in a lengthy Instagram post: “I was at breakfast with my husband Thursday morning when I started having stroke-like symptoms and was taken to the hospital.”
“They found that I had a very small clot in my brain that caused a slight lack of oxygen, but my body cleared up on its own and I made a full recovery within a few hours.”
She added: “While it was definitely one of the scariest moments I have ever experienced, I am now at home feeling great and I am so grateful to all the wonderful doctors and nurses who have taken care of me! ‘
“Thank you to everyone who reached out to us with good wishes and care, as well as for all the support and love.”
According to sources close to her, Hailey’s health condition was somehow affecting her movements, and they shared that she underwent tests to find out the cause of her illness.
Doctors were concerned that her symptoms could be related to COVID-19, as Justin had been diagnosed with the virus earlier in March, but no conclusive evidence could be found.
