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.

Aaron Dessner Sets the Record Straight on Gracie Abrams’ ‘Death Wish’: It’s ‘Definitely Not’ About Taylor Swift

The producer also shared how he ended up performing with Noah Kahan over the weekend.

Aaron Dessner and Gracie Abrams have now made three albums together, with the pop star’s third studio effort, Daughter From Hell, arriving July 17. But one song in particular has stirred up a few misconceptions, and in a recent conversation with Billboard, the producer cleared them up.

Hopping on a Zoom call on Tuesday (July 21) — just days after joining Noah Kahan on stage in New York to perform one of The Great Divide songs he produced, a cameo that severe weather almost ruined — Dessner addressed confusion over the production and subject of “Death Wish,” one of the most talked-about tracks on Daughter From Hell. Some listeners have expressed surprise that the spritely album version sounds so different from the somber live piano version Abrams initially recorded and released amid her Secret of Us Tour, questioning why the duo would “change” the “original.” (Spoiler alert: They didn’t.)
