It’s a sad, sad day for Madame Tussauds in Time Square. Justin Bieber’s wax figure has had to go into early retirement due to damage from excessive groping, the New York Post reports.

Devido aos ‘danos’ causados por fãs, removem figura de cera de Justin no Madame Tussauds: http://t.co/xydgdZ0H9L pic.twitter.com/JnAoo9m3Vh — BieberMania.com.br (@BiebersManiaBR) February 11, 2014

How could you, Beliebers? How could you.

Madame Tussauds general manager Bret Pidgeon told the Post, “This is disappointing, but hopefully we can welcome a new ‘grown-up’ Justin back to the attraction in the near future.”

But I mean, who isn’t hoping a “grown up” Justin appears in the near future?
