  "account": "On Tuesday afternoon, September 22, Justin Bieber surprised fans by setting up an impromptu jam session in Los Angeles' MacArthur Park. The 32-year-old singer, who has been on a light live performance schedule since his 2023 tour was postponed due to Ramsay-Hunt Syndrome, joined a handful of friends in playing his hits and Swag songs. According to fans, Bieber performed \"Let Me Love You,\" \"Speed Demon,\" \"All I Can Take,\" and \"Yukon.\" The singer, seated on and behind a cajón, a percussion instrument, played the beat to \"Let Me Love You\" as a small group of fans and curious onlookers gathered around the session. Bieber also sang \"Yukon\" and \"Daisies,\" and even wished a young boy a happy birthday. Earlier this summer, Bieber had shared photos from Finneas and Claudia Sulewski's wedding, and earlier this month, he celebrated his eighth wedding anniversary with wife Hailey Bieber.",
  "summary": "The singer is not touring in support of his two Swag albums, so surprise daytime drum jams may be Beliebers' best bet to see him live for now.",
