JB channelled Star Wars villain Darth Vader as he hit the capital, with the newspaper adding that the Boyfriend singer may have chosen to wear the mask to protect his vocal chords from pollution.

Despite seeming to hide his identity, it didn't take long for people in the capital to recognise the famous Canadian.

Biebs also uploaded a black-and-white snap of himself wearing the mask on Instagram, accompanied with the comment: "Mi eht test", which is thought to mean 'I'm the best'.

Justin, who is currently on tour in the UK as part of his Believe world tour, also hit the headlines this week after NASA offered him a trip to space.
