Justin Bieber is receiving some advice from the U.K. group One Direction.

During the recent BRIT awards, the quartet was questioned about any advice they would give Bieber amid his legal troubles.
While BRIT Awards host James Corden asked the group if they visited Bieber in jail, the group was careful not to say too much about their fellow singer's troubles.

"Keep strong, and keep doing what you're doing," group member Louis Tomlinson said.
Aside from One Direction's recent comments, Bieber has been receiving support from his music industry peers during his tough times.
Ariana Grande, the 20-year-old singer who toured with Bieber last year, previously spoke to the radio station MIX 104.1 about people being too harsh when joking about the singer's legal troubles.
"I think it's really serious. I've seen tweets of people making fun of the mug shot and all this stuff, and it's so ignorant," she said. "It's gotten to a point where I just want him to be okay. It's this very serious thing. And it's not just like a kid who's, you know, screwing around. It's dangerous. It's very serious and upsetting."
Grande's ex-boyfriend and fellow singer Nathan Sykes of The Wanted, previously took to Twitter to publicly speak well of Bieber.
"Gotta take a moment to say, people talk about @justinbieber's personal life so much they forget how talented he actually is," Sykes tweeted last month. "Genuinely a fan."
T.I., the Atlanta based rapper, recently spoke about his desire to help the budding singer.
"Justin is going through a moment right now in his life where all of us as adults have had that transitional period where we've had to evolve from adolescence to manhood," the rapper said on "The Arsenio Hall" song recently. "It was hard enough for me to become a man with a $100 thousand. A $100 million? I could imagine the mistakes that could be made. But I'm just trying to offer insight wherever needed."
