$200 million deal? Canadian singer Justin Bieber to sell music rights, say reports. Know what happened

Canadian singer and teen idol, Justin Bieber, will be selling his music rights for 200 million dollars, Wall Street Journal, has reported. The agreement is set to take place with Hipgnosis Music. The 28-year-old would become the youngest musician to sell the catalog rights.

Catalog rights are typically sold by artists with a long career, such as Bob Dylan, Sting, or Fleetwood Mac, all of whom are over 60.
Although in recent years, selling catalog rights have become common as album sales are not generating enough revenue. This has also made artists dependent on tours.


Previously in September 2022, the artist suspended his Justice World Tour saying, " exhaustion overtook me". He was scheduled to perform in India as part of his Justice world Tour in October, which was also suspended.
That was not the first time he took a break from his tour. In the past few years, he has canceled many concerts for reasons best known to the star singer. At times, his health kept him from performing, including the Ramsay Hunt syndrome.

Bieber, who lives a lavish lifestyle, seems to need immediate liquid money as he has canceled many of his concerts. However, people close to the Canadian star say he is running out of money as a result of his daily excesses. According to WSJ, a large portion of the $200 million will be split among the collaborators. Reason being, he doesn't generally write his songs solo and hence, the collaborators.
