Good news for Justin Bieber fans: Despite being very ill, the tiny teen idol has decided to push on and perform at Madison Square Garden in New York City on Tuesday night.

The 16-year-old pop sensation was forced to cancel a show on Sunday night in Syracuse, NY after he became sick with an unspecified illness. Justin tweeted that night to fans:

Justin said he might be well enough to play Madison Square Garden on Tuesday night, but his illness was still holding him back. Luckily, despite his doctor telling him that he "isn't 100 percent," Justin has decided to perform tonight.

From Justin's Twitter:

Ok the doctor said we aren't 100 percent but we are ready to ROcK!! Been cleared. MSG let's do this!!! Let's fill the streets of NYC!

Justin's MSG performance will be filmed as part of his 3D movie.
