Teen sensation Justin Bieber has topped a list of the most bizarre concert cancellations.

Police cancelled the Baby hitmaker”s gig in Sydney, Australia in April (10) amid safety fears when thousands of young fans descended on the area and hundreds became ‘distressed’ amid frenzied scenes.

Singer Morrissey’s decision to cancel an entire tour of Canada last year (09) in protest at the country”s seal hunting came second in the poll for men”s magazine Esquire, reports the Daily Star.

Meat Loaf landed the third spot after he cut short a gig in Newcastle in 2007 due to “exhaustion” – then announced he was retiring from music immediately.

The Bat Out of Hell hitmaker changed his mind a few days later and resumed his tour.

The Brian Jonestown Massacre – who cancelled a show when lead singer Anton Newcombe”s girlfriend was heckled during a solo set – and Belgian duo Soulwax, who cut short a concert in Liverpool when the band began brawling with security staff, rounded off the top five.
