Justin Bieber Joins Don Toliver on Stage for ‘Private Landing’ at Los Angeles Show

Justin Bieber made a surprise stage appearance over the weekend, joining Don Toliver for his performance of “Private Landing” at Los Angeles’ Crypto.com Arena.

Toliver welcomed the singer to the stage on Friday (Oct. 18), a moment that was captured and shared in an Instagram Story by Bieber’s wife, Hailey.


Bieber vibed with the crowd for “Private Landing,” the the pair’s 2023 track that also featured Future. Based on fan clips from the show, it seems Bieber was just on stage to hype Toliver, not sing.

“Private Landing” was released as a single from Toliver’s album Love Sick and peaked on Billboard‘s Rhythmic Airplay chart at No. 8 in 2023.

On Sunday, Bieber surprised fans with something else: photos that appear to be from either a studio or rehearsal space. One photo slideshow shows the singer-songwriter at a keyboard. In another photo set, he has a mic in hand in one image and is singing into a mic in a closeup shot. Both photo posts credit photographer Rory Kramer, who thanked Bieber “for having me into your home these last 4 days” and complimented the “amazing energy” he felt spending time with the singer, and his family and friends.

Are the photos a sign that new music is on the way? Last month, Mk.gee revealed he’s been in studio sessions with Bieber. In an interview with The New York Times, Mk.gee said, “He’s searching. Anything that comes out of his mouth: That’s pop music. You can really do pretty wild stuff behind that, just because it represents something.”

Bieber’s most recent full-length studio album, Justice, was released in 2021 and debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart.

He welcomed a baby with Hailey over the summer. The new parents announced the birth of their first child, Jack Blues Bieber, on Instagram on Aug. 23.

Our Early — But Not All That Early — 2027 Grammy Nominations Preview

Last year at this point, four of the eight albums that were later nominated for album of the year had been released and a fifth was just weeks away.

The 68th annual Grammy Awards were presented just nine days ago, so how can we already be thinking ahead to next year’s awards? Well, even though many execs who flew out to L.A. for the Grammys haven’t even filed their expense reports yet, we’re nearly halfway through the eligibility year for the 69th annual Grammy Awards – Aug. 31, 2025 through Aug. 30, 2026.

Last year at this point, four of the eight albums that were later nominated for album of the year had been released – Leon ThomasMUTT, Tyler, the Creator’s CHROMAKOPIA, Kendrick Lamar’s GNX and the eventual winner, Bad Bunny’s Debí Tirar Más Fotos. A fifth eventual nominee, Lady Gaga’s MAYHEM, was just weeks away from its March 7 release. The other three nominated albums were both released during the summer: Clipse’s Let God Sort Em Out and Justin Bieber’s Swag (both released on July 11) and Sabrina Carpenter’s Man’s Best Friend (on Aug. 29, just one day before the close of the eligibility year).
