NSW: Channel 7 defends planning of Bieber concert

Network Seven has defended it's planning of their JUSTIN BIEBER concert .. cancelled
following mass hysteria in Sydney early this morning.

The 16 year-old teen sensation was due to perform at Circular Quay at 7.40am for the
Sunrise program .. but police called it off due to safety concerns after more than four
thousand fans turned up for the free concert.

The Seven network says they appropriately prepared security but they had no way of
foreseeing the sheer number of fans that turned up.

Sunrise weather presenter GRANT DENYER says there was a bit of a crush at the front
of the stage and there were some girls fainting.

He says he was surprised at the interest in the event.

The screaming fans have now started to disperse after BIEBER sang one song in the Sunrise
Studio at Martin Place .. where the crowd had gathered after the concert at The Rocks
was cancelled.
