Swedish police said on Thursday they found drugs on teen idol Justin Bieber’s tour bus in Stockholm, but had no suspects and were unlikely to pursue the case further. A police officer on crowd duty smelled marijuana on an empty tour bus outside the hotel where Bieber was staying just before his concert in the capital on Wednesday night, police spokesman Kjell Lindgren said. Police searched the empty bus after it had taken 10 to 15 individuals to the concert venue.

“The police went onto the bus and searched it and found a small amount of narcotics,” Lindgren said. “We don’t know who had the drugs or who smoked them, so it will be hard to link them with any individual.” The drugs have been sent for analysis and Lindgren said the police did not plan further action unless they got more information.

Bieber is travelling Europe on his “Believe” tour and is due in Finland for a concert on Friday.

Bieber got into trouble earlier this month after a museum dedicated to Anne Frank said the 19-year-old had written that he hoped the young Holocaust victim would have been a “belieber”, the word used by his fans to describe themselves. Read more

Have you ever discussed an artist that you know that does not exist with another individual who tells you how great they are? Anyone who has been in the music business is no stranger to this phenomenon. People who are responsible for discovering talent want “to be in the know.” In other words, it’s their duty to know every artist that exists on planet earth, if not, they are falling behind. Music fans think alike, especially hipsters who pride themselves for discovering artists before the rest of the masses.

Anyhow, Jimmy Kimmel took his popular Lie Witness News segment on the road to Coachella, where he had some fun with the local fauna by asking them their thoughts on bands “so obscure that they do not exist.”
