TORONTO — Justin Bieber will celebrate turning 21 in March by getting roasted on television.
The Canadian pop star will be roasted by celebrities and comedians at a Comedy Central taping on March 7.
“Justin has been asking us for years to roast him, so we kept telling him to create some more material and we’re thrilled he listened,” the U.S. cable network said in a statement.
Bieber has made more headlines recently for his behaviour than for his music. He hasn’t released an album of new music since 2012’s Believe.

The London, Ont.-born singer tweeted his excitement:
Bieber can evidently take a joke. Following a Saturday Night Live parody of his Calvin Klein campaign last weekend, Bieber tweeted his approval:
Bieber is not the first Canadian celebrity to be roasted in a Comedy Central special. Pamela Anderson was roasted in 2005 and William Shatner in 2006.
An air date for the roast has not been announced.
