Leif Garrett offers Bieber career advice
Seventies pop icon Leif Garrett has offered teen superstar Justin Bieber a little advice - "Don't believe the hype".
The now-51-year-old singer tells FoxNews.com he has been watching Bieber's career take off and, like many fans and critics alike, he's concerned by his recent antics that seem to suggest the young star is making some bad decisions.
The moments of madness include allegedly spitting at a DJ,
urinating in a restaurant mop bucket and driving his sports cars at
high speed around his neighborhood in Calabasas, California. Bieber
has also been showing up late to concerts and fighting with the
paparazzi.
And, asked to comment on Bieber's alleged bad behavior, Garrett has
a few pieces of advice for the Baby singer.
He states, "Do not believe your own publicity. Sussing out who your
real friends are is full-time work. Every scum bag, every drug
dealer, every chicken hawk wants a piece of you.
"When you've got that sort of power at that young age, and
everything at your doorstep, you put out that bad boy image. At
that age, testosterone, hormones, all of the money, you see what
else you can get away with."
