Justin Bieber paid tribute to his grandfather Bruce Dale on Instagram two days after his death at the age of 80.

Justin Bieber wrote a lengthy tribute to maternal grandfather Bruce Dale in a social media post April 26, saying "I can’t wait to see u again soon."

Dale, father of Bieber’s mom, Pattie Mallette, was a longtime supporter of his grandson’s career. He appeared in Bieber’s 2011 documentary Never Say Never and shared memories during a 2018 interview at the Stratford Perth Museum, which featured an exhibit dedicated to the pop star.
