Justin Bieber relaxing on Panama beach, says TV host

A Panamanian radio and television host says troubled pop star Justin Bieber has been relaxing on a beach in Panama on a vacation from the United States, where the Grammy-nominated singer faces driving under the influence charges after being arrested last week in Florida.

The "Boyfriend" singer had previously performed several concert dates in Panama in October, 2013, as part of his "Believe" tour.

Bieber's publicist did not immediately respond Sunday to an email request from the Associated Press for comment.

Following his arrest, stars such as Lady Gaga and Ellen DeGeneres offered their support and concern. Other stars, like Seth Rogen, weren't so polite. The "This Is the End" star posted on his Twitter account, "All jokes aside, Justin Bieber is a piece of s---."

On Friday, Bieber addressed his fans for the first time publicly following his arrest. On the social networking site Instagram, he posted an image of himself and Michael Jackson, both in similar poses following confrontations with the law.

The caption for the image read, "What more can they say."

The "Never Say Never" singer is also under investigation over an alleged egg-throwing incident involving one of his neighbors near his home in Calabasas, California.
