Justin Bieber has told fans he won't be taking his Purpose tour to Argentina.
The star took to Twitter on Monday to break the news in a series of posts where he expressed his regret at the situation which he said was his lawyer's advice.
He wrote on Twitter: 'Argentinian beliebers I would like nothing more than to bring the #purposetour there but until the legal conditions change there I can't.

Justin's world tour has been such a hit that he is planning on expanding it to Japan, South America and Australia.
He added: 'Argentina I do love you. It is in fact one of my favorite places to tour. I wish this was not the case. My lawyers say it is what it is.
'If things were to change I would love to come but at this time I cannot. For everyone else in South America I look forward to seeing you'
He gave no explanation for why but there's no doubt it has something to do with the star's ongoing legal issues stemming from an assault case in 2013.

Don't cry for me Argentina: Justin, pictured on Sunday, can't enter the South American country because of an arrest warrant a judge issued stemming from a 2013 assault involving his bodyguards
A judge issued an arrest warrant for the What Do You Mean? hitmaker to question him about a criminal case involving one of his bodyguards allegedly assaulting a photographer.
The arrest warrant was revoked last year but according to TMZ Justin's team is concerned that the judge will change his mind if the star tries to enter the country as the case is still pending.
Judge Albert Julio Banos allegedly ordered the Canadian crooner's 'immediate detention' because of a warrant stemming from an incident which took place in Buenos Aires in 2013.
His bodyguards, Hugo Alcides Hesny and Terrence Reche Smalls, were also allegedly subject to the same warrant.
Risky: The Canadian star got in trouble because he fled Argentina without being interviewed about the incident
The incident saw photographer Diego Pensoa accuse Justin's bodyguards of attacking him at a club in the country's capital city.
He also alleged that Justin ordered the attack and his warrant came about because he never answered questions about the incident before leaving the country.
Prior to that incident he was accused by the Argentine government of desecrating the country's flag by kicking it off stage when he was performing in Bueno Aires.
Meanwhile Justin was spotted out on a solo stroll in Montreal, Canada over the weekend ahead of his concert at the Bell Centre on Monday.

The singer has been spending quiet moments outdoors on his days off and it was recently claimed that the star is on a 'spiritual mission'.
The singer had 'an epiphany' recently, which led him to believe that he needs to reconnect with religion and nature and during days off from his Purpose world tour he has been spotted meditating in parks and enjoying some solo strolls.
A source said: 'He believes nature and religion - not concert venues and nightclubs - should become his life priorities.'
Justin's Purpose tour moves from Montreal to Toronto this week and then the singer gets to enjoy a month-long break.
Not going back: While Justin's arrest warrant has been revoked, his team are concerned that the judge will still want to question him over the incident. He is pictured out last week in Philadelphia
