Justin Bieber's road crew refuse to tour Japan

Members of Bieber's touring crew have refused to show up to his Japanese shows for fear of being irradiated.

TMZ reports that many members of the crew have 'flat out refused' to work on Bieber's two shows in Japan at the end of the month due to fears of radiation fallout and another earthquake.

They report that the crew have used the example of Slash and Avril Lavigne's Japanese show cancellations, although Maroon 5 are still going ahead with their tour.

Ke$ha and Anthrax postponed their Japanese tours, Jack Johnson and Spiritual Beggars cancelled, yet Herbie Hancock seems to be ploughing ahead.

Apparently, Bieber's Japanese shows are now in jeopardy because the crew and management have reached a stalemate.
