Justin Bieber Powers Through Coachella Rehearsal with ‘Gnarly’ Rib Injury: ‘Hurts to Laugh, Talk’

Justin Bieber shared that he suffered a “gnarly” injury to his ribs after falling off an electric skateboard — but he still powered through a lengthy rehearsal for his upcoming Coachella performance.

“My rib hurts so f—— bad, bro,” the singer, 31, told his friends and bandmates at the end of an exhaustive four-hour-long Nov. 13 livestream posted to his Twitch account, where the “Peaches” singer performed with a live band.

The injury didn’t keep Bieber from singing hits like “What Do You Mean?”, “No Pressure”, and “Purpose” during the livestream. Halfway through it, he takes a break on the couch with his band members and brings up the injury, saying, “Bro, that fall the other day?”

“It hurts to laugh, talk,” Bieber says, as he twists in his seat, holding his ribs. Next to the couches, a playpen and dinosaur-shaped rocker are visible, presumably for Jack Blues, Bieber’s 14-month-old son with wife Hailey Bieber.

At the end of the livestream, he talks about the injury again, telling a bandmate it was “gnarly.” 

The singer goes on to explain that he “fell on my side” while riding his Onewheel, an electric skateboard with a single large wheel in the center.

“That s— bro is hurting me bad, bro,” Bieber says as he takes off his hoodie, stretching while holding his hand against his ribs. “I’m trying to play it cool but, bro, this s— is f—— with me.”

The “Daises” singer sits in a chair and leans to one side, explaining, “Even singing, laughing, everything hurts.”

Bieber has been livestreaming as he prepares for his upcoming Coachella performance in April — his first time headlining the iconic music festival.
