Bieber snubs Brits to go shopping

Justin Bieber missed the Brit awards ceremony to go shoe shopping.

While music stars including One Direction and Justin Timberlake performed at one of the biggest music events of the year at the O2 Arena in London, Justin was spotted at swanky department store Harrods with Black Eyed Peas star Will.i.am.

The pair were snapped being helped through the crowds at the swanky Knightsbridge shop by a crew of burly security staff.

On the night before the Brits, Justin and The Voice coach Will were seen hanging out at Covent Garden's Roadhouse.

The Canadian singer is now getting some rest ahead of his first performance on the UK leg of his Believe world tour which opens in Manchester.

Justin tweeted: "up all last night writing. very very tired... gonna rest up. Manchester tonight. #BELIEVEtour."
