July 25 (UPI) -- John Mayer has defended Justin Bieber on Twitter after the pop star canceled the reminder of his Purpose world tour because of "unforeseen circumstances."

"When someone pulls remaining dates of a tour, it means they would have done real damage to themselves if they kept going," Mayer wrote Monday in defense of Bieber.

"We've lost so many great artists lately. I give Justin [two thumbs up] for realizing it was time to call it. You should too," he continued.

Mayer himself took a break from touring in 2012 as he battled a throat condition.

Bieber announced Monday that his Purpose world tour would come to an end this week. "Justin loves his fans and hates to disappoint them. He thanks his fans for the incredible experience of the Purpose World Tour over last 18 months," a statement on his Facebook account said.

"He is grateful and honored to have shared that experience with his cast and crew for over 150 successful shows across 6 continents during this run. However, after careful consideration he has decided he will not be performing any further dates," it continued.

Tickets for the Purpose tour will be refunded at the point of purchase.
