Please and thank you. I don’t think it’s necessary when I’m trying to say something and you guys are screaming.” Bieber then dropped his microphone and left the stage, amid boos from the crowd, [_BBC_](http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/article/37748537/justin-bieber-walks-off-stage-in-manchester-after-asking-fans-to-stop-screaming) reported.
