Sadly though, his injury won’t be preventing him from singing to us in the future - despite the fact he probably can't hear himself doing so

The singer was left potentially needing surgery for a ruptured eardrum after he attempted to leap into the sea from a particularly high piece of land.
"Busted my ear drum cliff diving," he told his followers on Twitter. "Doc says might need surgery now. Sucks."
Sadly, though, not being able to hear himself sing won’t be preventing him from doing so in the future.
"My ear drum might back us up a little but I'm still bringing you this new music," he commiserated.
"Much love. Damn u cliff diving!"
And it wasn’t the first time he’d voluntarily thrown himself off a cliff, either.
Last year, he worried fans after being photographed tombstoning from a high ledge in Kauai, Hawaii.
In other bizarre Bieber news, the star is about to release his latest collaboration... with David Hasselhoff.
The pair appear together in the Knight Rider actor's new film, Killing Hasselhoff, and were seen tearing around Venice Beach, CA in a Kitt replica.
"We had a lot of fun and he's a cool guy," the Hoff told People magazine. "We're just keeping it quiet because it's really cool."
