Justin Bieber’s security had to ‘check his pulse’ every night before singer made brave decision to change his life

Justin Bieber has bravely opened up about the time his own security had to ‘check his pulse’ every night before making a decision to change his life.

The 30-year-old ‘Peaches’ singer has shared with fans an insight into what his life once looked like when he was struggling with addiction.

Speaking on the Justin Bieber: Seasons docuseries, the A-lister looked back about his return music amid dealing with his own personal struggles including Lyme disease, drug addiction and the mental toll that took on him.

One clip from the doc sees Justin’s wife and now mother of his child, Hailey, explain: “Justin and I were never really in each other’s lives until he chose to get sober and was trying to come off of the drugs, almost kind of himself.”

Opening up about the reason he ‘decided to stop’, Justin revealed: ” I felt like I was like, like, bro, I was like, dying.

“My security and stuff were coming into the room at night to check my pulse – like people don’t know how serious it got, like it was legit crazy scary.”

He went on to share that he would wake up in the morning and the ‘first thing’ he would do would be ‘popping a pill’ and ‘smoking a blunt’ before ‘starting the day’.

“So it just got scary,” the singer reflected.

Justin went on to explain exactly how he changed things around, recalling: “I basically said to myself, ‘God, if you’re real, you get me through this season of stopping these pills and stuff, and if you do, I’ll do the rest of the work’, and then I did that, and then I was good from there.”

He went on to confess that he ‘never did the actual work’, adding: “I got off the pills, but I never went to the root of everything.”

In an interview with Vogue, the ‘Baby’ hit-maker reiterated how he used drugs as a coping mechanism.

“Drugs put a screen between me and what I was doing,” she shared. “It got pretty dark. I think there were times when my security was coming in late at night to check my pulse and see if I was still breathing.”
