21-year-old singer, Justin Bieber was reportedly thrown out of Coachella by security operatives, who prevented him from gaining access into the Californian music festival during Drake‘s performance on Sunday, April 13, 2015.
He was put in a chokehold by security, who stopped him from entering through the artists’ entrance because the area was full, TMZ reports.
The ‘Believe’ hitmaker showed his wristband, which should have granted him access, but guards wouldn’t let him in, even after Justin explained he was a personal guest of Drake and would be ‘bombarded’ by fans if he stood in the public area.
One staff member relented and started to let the singer and his entourage in, but a security member reportedly came up from behind and put him in a chokehold before he was ordered to leave the festival.
However, sources close to the ‘Beauty and a Beat’ star insisted Justin left the site voluntarily and is now considering taking legal action against the security staff.
Despite the abrupt ending to his weekend, Justin had seemed to be having a good time at the festival on Saturday, April 12, 2015, where he was seen partying with pals, including Chris Brown, Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid, and checked out sets from artists, including Jack White and FKA twigs.
