Justin Bieber was seen with a full beard and shaved head just hours before he dropped his surprise new album, “SWAG II.”
The “Sorry” singer was spotted with bushy facial hair while riding in the passenger seat of a large SUV in Los Angeles Thursday.
Bieber, 31, had a stoic expression as he left The Jim Henson Company studio wearing silver-frame Oakley sunglasses and a green star-shaped pimple patch on his forehead.
He accessorized with a diamond hoop earring and two studded nose rings.
Later in the day, Justin surprised fans by announcing that he would be releasing his “SWAG II” album at midnight Friday.
Justin sweetly honored his wife, Hailey Bieber, in his new track, “I Do.”
“I do / I mean it when I say that I do / Nobody gets to touch you / I do / You’ll always be the one that I choose,” he sang.
The pop star went on to croon, “Never loved you more than I do right now.”
In his song “Bad Honey,” he sang about the Rhode Skin founder making him a “better man,” and raved about their rare love in “I Think You’re Special.”
Justin also compared Hailey to their 1-year-old son, Jack Blues, in his track “Mother in You.”
The touching lyrics were a stark contrast to the songs he put out in his “SWAG” alum, which dropped two months ago.
Justin famously sang about his marriage woes in his seventh studio album.
In his song “Daisies,” he sings about “throwin’ petals like, ‘Do you love me or not?’”
In “Walk Away,” his lyrics read, “Girl, we better stop before we say some s–t / We’ve been testing our patience / I think we better off if we just take a break / And remember what grace is.”
A source revealed last month that Justin and Hailey’s marriage was on the rocks as he worked to create new music.
“The intense focus and emotional toll of creating new music had put a strain on their marriage,” a source close to the couple told Us Weekly at the time.
However, the insider said that after his music was released, there was a “sense of relief on both sides.”
“There’s still work to be done in their marriage. But they’re in a much better place,” the source said, adding that they have been able to “finally reconnect more.”
The duo have been rocked by breakup speculation since they got married in 2018 — though Hailey shut down the gossip.
The artist, who recently sparked mental health concerns after his alleged drug use, renewed his vows with Hailey last year while simultaneously announcing her pregnancy with their first child.
