FILE - In this Sunday, Nov. 22, 2015 file photo, Justin Bieber arrives at the American Music Awards at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles. With his recent batch of hit singles and semi-grown-up sound  - including the electro-pop "Where Are U Now" with DJ-producers Skrillex and Diplo - adult men have begun attending the church of Bieber, and while some have issues admitting it, other proudly say they are Beliebers. “Sorry” and “What Do You Mean,” currently at Nos. 2 and 4 on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart, helped Bieber solidify his comeback after years of a broken image, which included arrests, public smoking and fainting onstage that led to hospitalization.
