According to the Manchester Evening News, Bieber came back and continued the show a short while later.

In a video that appears to have been taken after Bieber returned to the stage, the star says he wanted to connect with the audience. From the sounds of it, he walked off after once again growing frustrated with people in the crowd screaming while he was trying to talk.

"My point of the no screaming thing is so that when I'm looking at you in the eyes, you can actually know that we're having a moment and having a connection," he says in the clip. "So it's not me trying to be an asshole."

The incident drummed up quite a bit of reaction on Twitter.
