LOS ANGELES: Canadian singer Justin Bieber has been slammed by heavy metal fans for wearing a Metallica tee-shirt. The 21-year-old, who for many is the undisputed prince of pop, found himself blasted by fans of the band when he shared a snap on Instagram, reports mirror.co.uk.

In the photo, the singer is donning a wide-brimmed black hat teamed with an oversized black Metallica top. His fashion choice evidently rubbed a lot of people the wrong way as they mocked the hitmaker for his attire. One user wrote, “Take that shirt off you don’t deserve it.” While another added, “U r a disgrace to metallica.” Someone else stated, “I love Metallica and I hate Justin Bieber.”

Bieber is no stranger to online abuse, with his Baby music video topping the list of most disliked YouTube clips of all time.
