Justin Bieber Performs After Thwarted Murder Plot

Justin Bieber hits the stage during Power 96.1′s 2012 Jingle Ball concert on Wednesday (December 12) at the Philips Arena in Atlanta, Ga.

The 18-year-old singer has been the subject of a lot of attention today after two men were arrested for reportedly plotting to kill and castrate Justin on behalf of an obsessed fan serving a life sentence in jail.

“We take every precaution to protect and insure the safety of Justin and his fans,” his manager Scooter Braun told Us Weekly.
