MUMBAI: Following the release of the highly anticipated 3-D documentary Never Say Never, Madame Tussauds announced on Tuesday that Grammy-nominated POP / R&B singing-sensation Justin Bieber will be the next celebrity to be immortalized in wax Bieber’s figure will make its world debut this March at three Madame Tussauds attractions — New York, London and Amsterdam.
I’m honored to be getting my own wax figures at Madame Tussauds New York, London and Amsterdam,… Bieber said. To be immortalized in wax alongside some of my idols – Michael Jackson, Prince, Beyonce and my mentor, Usher – is incredibly exciting and very cool….
Bieber was an enthusiastic participant of the four month-long figure creation process, spending time with a team of Madame Tussauds studio artists who took hundreds of precise measurements and photos of the singer to ensure the figure captures his signature style and of course, his signature locks.
