Happy 21st birthday, Justin Bieber

Last night Justin Bieber saw in his 21st birthday with a showbiz bash worthy of one of the world's biggest singing stars.
The Champagne flowed, he took selfies for his 21.3 million Instagram followers that included his rumoured girlfriend Hailey Baldwin, and tweeted to his 61 million Twitter followers, 'Grateful to be alive!!! Love u!!! 21'
And the Ontario-born heartthrob has much to celebrate - not only has he been a pop sensation for eight years but recent behaviour that seems to suggest he's put his rocky teen years behind him to embrace a calmer, more reflective adulthood.

Yet, the rapidly maturing Justin celebrating his birthday today, with estimated wealth of $200million (£130milllion) is very different to the angel-faced teen who sang his heart out as a 13-year-old on YouTube.
Born in Ontario, Canada, and brought up by a single mother Patricia or Pattie Mallette, he was discovered by accident after she posted a video of her son singing Ne-Yo's So Sick at a school singing competition on YouTube for their friends and family to see.
She added more videos of Justin singing various R 'n' B covers until one day, music executive Scooter Braun, who worked with Ariana Grande, Psy and Carly Rae Jepsen, was searching for another singer and stumbled on his homemade performances.
