Justin Bieber kicked out of Coachella: Video footage emerges of singer being placed in chokehold

The 21-year-old singer was apparently trying to get into the VIP viewing area ahead of Drake’s set but was turned away by security

Justin Bieber once again fell on the wrong side of the rules when he was reportedly placed in a chokehold and kicked out of Coachella on Sunday night.

The 21-year-old singer was apparently trying to get into the VIP viewing area ahead of Drake’s set.

However, he and his entourage were stopped by security before they could enter the zone, because it was already full.

Blurred video footage has since emerged via TMZ, appearing to show a scuffle between Bieber’s entourage and the guards on duty before they were escorted off the premises.

Music festival insiders told the gossip website that the pop star was placed in a chokehold after the disagreement boiled over.

The melee did mean that he missed out on the Coachella moment everyone was talking about – that Drake and Madonna kiss.

Rest assured, however, Bieber hardly went away from the festival with his tail between his legs. The singer boarded his private jet and flew to Europe, where he embarked on a shopping spree.
