Justin Bieber left fans scratching their heads when he bizarrely stepped out in Los Angeles on Thursday while shirtless in Beverly Hills.
The 31-year-old singer had stripped out of a blue hoodie that he carried by his side as he appeared to arrive for an appointment.
The pop superstar displayed his gaunt features in the wake of DailyMail.com's exclusive report on the latest 'fight' he has had with his wife Hailey Bieber, 28, after she reached a career high by posing for a Vogue cover story.
His shirtless display followed another embarrassing public incident in which Justin grabbed at his crotch while out in LA.
The Sorry singer looked particularly thin as head headed into an office building while wearing nothing beyond shorts and leggings.

His torso and arms were nearly completely covered with ink reaching up along his neck, though his back only had a few straggler tattoos.
Earlier this week, Justin shocked many of his and Hailey's fans when he shared a cruelly backhanded compliment to his wife for winning a spot on the latest cover of Vogue.
'Yo this reminds me when Hailey and I got into a huge fight, I told hails that she would never be on the cover of vogue, Yikes I know, so mean, For some reason because I felt so disrespected I thought I gotta get even,' he explained in what some fans took to be an attempt at humor.
'think as we mature we realize that we’re not helping anything by getting even, we’re honestly just prolonging what we really want which is intimacy and connection,' he continued.
Even his apparent attempt at a sweet conclusion to the bizarre post couldn't help but bring up the painful insult again.
'So baby u already know but forgive me for saying u wouldn’t get a vogue cover cuz clearly i was sadly mistaken,' he wrote.
Commenters on the post were shocked that he would admit to such behavior.
Once user wrote that it was 'Giving Kanye,' and another added, 'A simple congrats would've been fine I fear.'

'When you see Justin going to Hailey's events wearing sweats and Crocs, it's not because that's his style,' one X (formerly Twitter) user said.
'It's because he doesn't see those events as important. He appears supportive but only on his terms.'
Other users seemed to agree saying, 'Wearing sweats to her big moments isn't a vibe - it's a message' and 'He's starting to seem just bitter and jealous at this point.'
In the past, some fans have suggested that his ultra-casual looks have been to let Hailey stand out
But others had more recently become convinced that it was the other way around, and Justin was allegedly taking the spotlight.
