We all know Justin Bieber is a huge Michael Jackson fan. This was proven even more when he was a special guest at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre yesterday where Michael was immortalized at the famous hand and footprint courtyard.

Justin told Access Hollywood, “You know what? I wish I would’ve been able to meet him. It was really sad that… I basically released my first single the week he passed, so it was really unfortunate. So I feel like, it’s just really sad. That was one person I really wanted to meet.”

“He’s an icon,” Justin remarked on AH, “Every time that I go out on stage, every time I go out and perform, I’m always trying to be the best and that’s what he always did.”
