Justin Bieber's grandfather, Bruce Dal, dies at 80, singer pays touching tribute

In a difficult and emotional moment, Justin Bieber has shared bitter news with his followers: his beloved grandfather, Bruce Dale, has passed away at the age of 80.

Bruce was the father of the singer's mother, Pattie Mallette, and has played an important role in Justin's life since childhood.

Through a touching post on Instagram, the 31-year-old star recalled with love and longing the moments he shared with his grandfather.

He shared an old photo of himself touching Bruce Dale's face tenderly, an image that expresses their special bond.

In the photo description, Justin writes:

Grandpa, I always took all the money, haha. I remember you specifically telling me that Grandma would give me a $20 allowance for the whole week!
I always convinced you to spend it on snacks at hockey games on Friday nights.
You, although reluctantly, always gave it to me.
Popcorn, Skittles, big gum, Chuck a puck, Slush Puppies...
A shout out to Junior B judges Beatty, Fagon and Flanagan, haha,
who endured all the yelling and teasing from my grandfather for their terrible decisions as judges, hahaha.
My grandfather didn't hesitate to bluntly tell them that they were useless.
I can't wait to see you again in heaven.
Until then, I know you're looking down on me, probably still teasing Beatty or Fagon for some unpunished foul in the corner of the field, hahaha.
I will miss you very much.
I will feel pain.
And I will sit and remember all the beautiful moments we spent together.

In these heartfelt words, the singer expresses not only his love for an important figure in his life, but also his deep conviction that their bond will continue beyond this world. Justin says that the memories with his grandfather will always remain vivid, while the belief that they will be reunited in heaven gives him the strength to cope with the pain of loss. /Telegraph/
