Justin Bieber failed to appear in court on 8th February as the first hearing into the copyright case of his hit song 'Sorry' was to get underway. His lawyers informed the plaintiff's side that Bieber was ill. 'Sorry' came out in 2015 and became a popular hit in many countries. It topped the chart in Canada. However by December 2015 the indie artist Winter Hinderland wrote to Justin Bieber under her own name Casey Dienal claiming that her hit of 2014 'Ring The Bell' was sampled on 'Sorry'. She wanted it removed or compensated. Bieber and his co-song writers apparently ignored the claim. However by May 2016, Dienal decided on legal measures. She has cited Bieber and the co writers of 'Sorry' namely Justin Tranter, Sonny Moore (Skrillex) and Michael Tucker (Blood) in her claim.Harry Styles is close to releasing his debut solo effort.
