Lead choreographer tested positive for COVID-19 during rehearsals

Wellness juice shots, rapid COVID-19 tests and masks galorethis was notypical Bieber performance.

Those involved with the show's pre-production and rehearsals were tested for COVID-19 each morning.

Then, just days before the show, Bieber's lead choreographer, Nick DeMoura, tested positive for the coronavirus after developing mild symptoms. He was forced to quarantine for 14 days, missing rehearsals in the process.

"If any main players get it, the show's over," Chris Gratton, the co-show designer, says at the top of the film.

That wasn't quite the case, in the end, as rehearsals continued despite DeMoura's absence.

Though Bieber himself isn't shown getting tested during the documentary, he acknowledged the importance of the team's protocols, applauding how "meticulous" everyone had been in adhering to them.

"I think we're just so lucky that we get to work during this time,"Biebersaid. "There are a lot of people who don't, so I feel like it's a big blessing for us."

Lead choreographerDeMourahas been with the singer for 11 years, having started as an alternate dancer during the singer's My World tour.

"When you've toured with someone for 10 years, you've pretty much lived with them," DeMoura says inthe film. "You become brothers automatically."

Other veterans from Bieber's pack include DJ Tay Jamesand musical director and bass player Bernard (Harv)Harvey.

Lauren Walters, Bieber's director of operations and security, also reflectson working with the singer for 11 years in the film.

"He is extremely loyal to his team, his friends," Walters said. "For us his team members who have been here over the years we love him, we care about him tremendously."

Bieber wantsto have a baby with his wifethis year

According to the film, if Bieber's New Year's wish comes true, he and wife Hailey could be with child soon.

A video log dated Dec. 31, 2020 the date of the concert performance shows Hailey Bieber asking what her husband's intentions are for the next year. Bieber replies that he hopes they'll "squish out a nugget," a tongue-in-cheek reference to having a baby.

Hailey Bieber responds with surprise, then seems to lethim down gently, with a firm, "Maybe."

The couple dated casually before confirmingtheirrelationship in 2018 and marrying later that year. Last month, some fans speculated that the 24-year-old model was pregnant after Bieber put his hand on her stomach while attending the Met Gala.

Much of the film's vlog-style footage features Bieber walking outdoors with his wife as they discuss the impending concert and the COVID-19 pandemic.

The pop star got somewhat personal elsewhere in the documentary, saying that his home life growing up was "unpredictable" and that having a life partner has aided his mental health.
