Justin Bieber made a surprise appearance at Coachella on Sunday, April 14, marking his second performance of 2024. The 30-year-old singer joined Tems and Wizkid on stage to perform their hit song 'Essence.' Bieber, who has been keeping a low profile due to health issues, seemed comfortable and at ease during his performance, sporting a casual outfit of a hoodie, baggy khaki pants, and a cap.
This isn't the first time Bieber has surprised fans at Coachella. In 2022, he performed with Daniel Caesar, and in a previous year, he joined Ariana Grande on stage. Despite Grande's initial plan to perform solo, Bieber's unexpected appearance delighted the audience as they sang 'Sorry' together.
Bieber's recent return to the stage comes after a hiatus due to being diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt syndrome in 2022, which temporarily paralyzed part of his face. This health setback forced him to cancel the remaining dates of his Justice World Tour. However, he made a triumphant return at the NHL All-Star Weekend in Toronto earlier this year.
While there were rumors of Bieber participating in Usher's Super Bowl LVIII Halftime performance, it was later revealed that he wasn't quite ready to fully dive back into the spotlight. Despite these challenges, Bieber's surprise appearances at events like Coachella continue to thrill fans and showcase his enduring talent.
