Bieber mania swept through Oslo, Norway, over the course of three days and left 49 teenage girls injured amongst the crazed hysteria.
But it seems they weren't the only ones getting hurt - after the Biebster was left injured himself.
The pop prince was left concussed after running into a glass wall backstage at a secret Paris gig the following day.
Justin, who is now 'taking it easy', tweeted his fans: 'just smacked my head and needed some water. all good.

The incident during the gig, with Justin managing to complete his set, before passing out briefly in the dressing room afterwards.
The news comes as the mayor of Oslo, where Justin performed earlier this week, reportedly launched an investigation into the star's pandemonium and issued a statement on the situation.

Mayor Stang said: 'I have already called on the Emergency Planning Agency to examine the entire event from the planning stage to its implementation.
'We have to find out what went wrong and why it happened.'
The local police force were almost forced to issue a state of emergency as tens of thousands of screaming Beliebers swarmed upon the streets of the capital city.
As more and more fans descended on the city, traffic was left gridlocked as the girls stampeded through the normally quiet roads.
According to TMZ.com, the mayor fell victim to the onslaught of manic fans and had to take shelter behind a tree in order to avoid getting trampled all over.

Meanwhile, with the carnage left firmly behind him in Oslo, Justin, 18, moved on to his next destination and arrived in Paris.
After tweeting: 'PARIS Here we Come. #BELIEVE', the scenes which he had left just 24 hours ago seemed to be repeating in the French capital.
The Boyfriend singer said: 'thanks to all the fans at the airport and at the hotel. amazing welcome. happy to be here and look forward to some surprises. Je t'aime'.
It appears that accumulating injuries is a prerequisite for Bieber fans, as a young Parisian girl came close to falling foul of her idols bodyguards.
As Justin arrived in Paris, a female fan tried to grab a piece of him in order to get a photograph with the star.

Taking over: Justin Bieber fans took over Oslo, Norway, when they heard the star was due to perform a free concert in the capital
The pint sized star will be hoping his Parisian fans will not be taking police by surprise as they did in Norway.
In Oslo, fans assembled outside the Grand Hotel on Karl Johans Gate, but the Boyfriend singer was actually staying at the nearby Royal Christiania Hotel, which prompted a mass stampede when the girls found out.
Justin appeared briefly to wave at his followers but was later forced to evacuate the hotel because of security fears.

Yesterday, the police admitted that they had lost all control of the huge number of fans and were unable to cope with the sheer size of the group.
It was announced on TV, last night, by Norwegian Broadcasting (NRK) that Bieber would be playing a free concert at 9.20pm from a floating stage next to Oslo's Opera House.
Armed with the new information, around 15,000 fans swamped the venue and scrambled on to the roof of the opera house waiting to see Justin perform.

The local authorities issued a warning that the roof was already over capacity and nobody else should try and get near the event, but the words fell on deaf ears.
Concerns over the girls safety and the fact that they have no toilets, food or drink readily available prompted police to contact the teen heartthrob.
They reportedly told Justin to take to the stage immediately or they would issue a state of emergency, after many females began fainting in the crowd.
Traffic was unable to move through the area because all the roads around the venue were filled with people.
