    Bieber fever hit Birmingham last night as the teen idol kicked off his world tour.

    Canadian pop idol Justin Bieber, 17, performed to thousands of screaming fans - predominantly teenage girls - during the sell-out concert.

    And in what appeared to be a dream combination for tweens everywhere - his support act was latest pop sensation Willow Smith.

    Accompanied by her actor parents Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith watching from the wings, the 10-year-old warmed up the crowd at the National Indoor Arena.

    In scenes reminiscent of Beatlemania, the fans screamed through the two-hour concert as Bieber performed some of his biggest hits including Baby and Somebody To Love.

    He broke hearts when he chose a girl from the audience to sing One Less Lonely Girl.
