Justin Bieber turned heads in London today, but for a bizarre reason.

The 18-year-old pop singer went on a shopping excursion wearing a conspicuous accessory -- a gas mask.

Yep, that's right. It is unclear if the mask was meant to disguise him or if he was wearing it for health reasons.

The Mirrorwent so far as to say Bieber was channeling Darth Vader.

The teen idol is in Britain for his tour but he won't be performing in London until March. He has been spotted recently with British teen singer Ella-Paige Clarke, who resides in London, according to the Mirror.

It's not the first time Bieber has been a masked man in public. E! Online reports that he was spotted at Venice Beach, Calif., wearing a metallic gold mask last year. At the time, he tweeted, "i am the #masterofdisguise."
