And he tweeted a picture of the pair along with another friend saying affectionately: 'We're the 3 best friends that anyone could have.'

'I know my fans are my everything. I know my responsibility to them. I LOVE MY BELIEBERS.so as i get older i know i will learn to deal with these things better and better just still learning. still human. just had to get that out.'

He had attended France's NRJ Awards at the Palais des Festivals on the French Riviera where he was given the 'Award of Honour'.

Meanwhile, his girlfriend, popstar and actress Selena Gomez has gushed about the star while posing on the cover of the new issue of Cosmopolitan.

'I'm just like every 19-year-old girl.

'If you're in love, you're in love to the fullest, and you just want to go to the movies, hang out, and be as normal as possible.

'I'm fortunate that I've found someone who has that philosophy.'
