Bieber’s Coachella performance in particular struck a chord with fans as well as his fellow guest performances, including Big Sean, who shared a heartfelt message for his “As Long As You Love Me” collaborator.
“I just gotta stay, brother, that you know God has his hands on you,” Big Sean said in footage shared to social media at the time. “You dedicated your whole life to this, man. You gave us your whole life.”
“Directly or indirectly, I think you taught all of us to believe in ourselves,” he added. “You taught us all, showed us what purpose was. I’m not trying to name your albums, it’s just a coincidence.”
