Biebermania breaks out in Brazil as fans storm front of Justin's hotel while their idol takes photos from his balcony

It may look like a riot, but it's actually Biebermania in Brazil.
On Friday hundreds of Justin Bieber's fans broke through restraining barriers and stormed the grounds of the swanky Copacabana Hotel in Rio de Janeiro, where the pop star is staying as he continues his Believe world tour.
The fans appeared to have stopped short of entering the building, but gathered outside screaming hysterically as Justin appeared on a balcony, smiling broadly and waving while taking photos of the throng on his iPhone.

The 19-year-old star was wearing a black T-shirt and a black cap with the brim turned backwards so he could get his photos. The tattoos on his left arm were clearly visible.
Earlier he also made an appearance on the balcony wearing a Hard Work City sweatshirt and a grey baseball cap.

The Canadian is due to play massive arenas in San Paulo on Saturday and Rio on Sunday.
And his obsessive fans started queuing for tickets 50 days before the dates to make sure they got the best front row spots.
About 150 Beliebers in Rio put up 17 tents to camp out until his concert at the Sambadrome.

It's the latest stop on the mega-tour that's promoting the Bieb's third album, Believe.
It began in Glendale on September 29, 2012, and is due to end December 8 in Perth, Australia, after rolling out more than 150 gigs in 42 countries.

Justin hasn't spent the entire 14 months on the road.
Last month he was back in Los Angeles for Usher's 35th birthday party at Bootsy Bellows nightclub in West Hollywood, California.
And he took time off to buy his family a new home on a sprawling rustic estate in Canada.

The singer purchased the $850,000 home in a small town near his birthplace of Ontario, for father Jeremy and his half-siblings Jazmyn, five, and three-year-old Jaxson.
Featuring five-bedrooms the wood and stone cabin-style home sits on a large piece of green land complete with pine tress.
