Justin Bieber mourns loss of grandfather

Pop superstar Justin Bieber's grandfather Bruce has passed away.

"Bruce Dale, age 80, of Stratford passed away peacefully at the Rotary Hospice Stratford Perth on Thursday 24 April 2025," his obituary read.

Bieber confirmed the loss in a lengthy Instagram tribute, in which the singer shared a photo of himself as a teenager with his late grandfather.

The singer wrote: "Papa, I always took all ur money lol. I remember u specifically telling me, Gramma gave u an allowance of 20 dollars for the WEEK! I would always convince you to spend on snacks at the hockey game on Friday nights. Reluctantly, you always gave it to me. Corn nuts, Skittles, gumballs, Chuck a Puck, Slush Puppies."

He continued: "Shout out to the Jr B referees Beatty, Fagon, Flanagan for enduring my grandpa's heckling for all of your horrible referee calls lmfao. My grandpa wasn't shy in letting them know that they were being pieces of s**t."

"I can't wait to see u again soon in heaven. Until then, I know ur watching down, probably still heckling Beatty or Fagon for missing that cross-check call in the corner there.

"I will miss u. I will ache. And I'll sit and let myself remember all the wonderful times we've had," the tribute concluded.

Justin's grandfather was one of his biggest supporters. He appeared in the Baby singer's 2011 documentary film Never Say Never, and featured in clips during his My World Tour shows.
