CANADIAN pop singer Justin Bieber made a triumphant return to the European stage at the MTV Europe Music Awards in Milan on Oct. 25, scooping up five prizes at the major music event.

    Bieber, who performed his hit “What Do You Mean?” to roaring cheers, was the biggest winner of the night, taking Best Male, Best Look, Worldwide Act: North America, Biggest Fans and Best Collaboration for “Where Are U Now?” with Skrillex and Diplo.

    The singer, who found fame at 13 and went on to become a global pop phenomenon, will next month release his first album in three years, during which time bad behavior offstage risked damaging his family-friendly teen heartthrob image.

    “I don’t take any of these moments for granted,” Bieber said at the show. “That’s where I belong, right there on that stage.” Bieber dropped a new song complete with a music video from his upcoming album, “Purpose,” which is set for release Nov. 13.(SD-Agencies)
