Justin Bieber reportedly mimed a number of songs during his British Summer Time concert after telling fans that he was suffering from a cold.

The Canadian superstar, 23, admitted that he wasn’t in good shape as he took to the stage in Hyde Park on Sunday evening, telling the crowd that he was “having a bad night” and asking them not to “judge” him.

But despite his illness, the Sorry star was on time for the 8pm kick off and opened the show with an enthusiastic rendition of Mark My Words, followed by Where Are You Now?

Later on, he told the sea of fans that he had been using Vicks Vapour Rub in a bid to feel better, but had got some stuck up his nose.

“I usually use Olbus oil. But I had to use Vicks here and now and it's stuck up my nose,” he told the audience as he geared up for his next song. “Life is worth living without Vicks in your nose.”

While some fans were impressed by Bieber’s performance, others complained about his apparent miming on a number of his tracks.

“@justinbieber what a joke of a concert. Miming, short and really boring. Waste of £75!!!!! #fuming #wasteofmoney,” wrote another.

However, one fan posted: “Expected miming and moaning and yet Bieber was incredible live. Props to the lad! @justinbieber @BSTHydePark #Legend.”

On Saturday night Bieber had been spotted partying until late at Tape London nightclub with friend Brooklyn Beckham.
