London, Aug 3 : Teen sensation Justin Bieber's "Believe" tour will be inspired by Michael Jackson, says his manager Scooter Braun.

"He has been watching a tremendous amount of Michael Jackson concerts from the 1980s and 1990s. And he has been talking to me about how Michael incorporated magic and pyro and reveals and he wants to bring in that. But still do that acoustic thing, but he wants to take it to a whole new level," contactmusic.com quoted Braun as saying.

He also explained he is excited about the new tour because Bieber, 18, has matured as a performer.

"It's just really exciting. Nothing makes him happier than being on stage. So it's gonna be fun to get back onto the road.

"I think he was an amazing performer before, but his level of dance and musicianship and his range has grown. He's a veteran now. I think he wants to take it to a completely new level," he said.
