Justin Bieber is remembering his paternal grandfather, Bruce Dale.
In a heartfelt Instagram caption posted April 26 honoring Dale, Bieber paid tribute to his beloved "Papa" with a throwback photo of the pair that appears to be from his debut "My World" musical era.
"I always took all ur money lol. I remember u specifically telling me, gramma gave u an allowance of 20 dollars for the WEEK! I would always convince you to spend on snacks at the hockey game on Friday nights. Reluctantly you always gave it to me."
Dale is the dad of the "Purpose" singer's mom Patti Mallette.
The pop star made headlines recently, from cryptic Instagram posts on imposter syndrome in March to recent confrontations with celebrity photographers and paparazzi. But the Canadian two-time Grammy winner, 31, is opening up about happier times with Dale in a note shared to his 295 million Instagram followers.
Justin Bieber is 'crashing out' according to fans. What does that mean?
"Corn nuts, skittles, gum balls, chuck a puck, slush puppies," he continued. "Shout out to the jr b referees Beatty, Fagon, Flanagan lmfao. For enduring all of my grandpa's heckling for all of your horrible referee calls lmfao."
Bieber added: I can't wait to see u again soon in heaven. Until then I know ur watching down probly still heckling Beatty or Fagon for missing that cross check call in the corner there."
"I will miss u. I will ache. And I'll sit and let myself remember all of the wonderful times we've had," Bieber's note concluded.
According to an online obituary, Dale died April 24 at 80 years old and "passed away peacefully" at the Rotary Hospice Stratford Perth in Stratford, Ontario.

The news comes after Bieber was a no-show when his wife, Rhode founder and model Hailey Bieber, was honored April 25 at The Daily Front Row's 9th annual Fashion Los Angeles Awards with a Beauty Innovator of the Year Award for her skincare brand.
Although the "Justin Bieber: Never Say Never" star was not in attendance, the 28-year-old still thanked him for "supporting this dream of mine from the beginning and for always cheering me on." The Biebers share an eight-month-old son Jack Blues Bieber.
Earlier this month, Bieber's beauty mogul wife revealed in an April 21 post on her Instagram story she's suffering from a pair of ovarian cysts.

Margaret Atwood, Jeanne Beker reference Canada-U.S. tensions at awards gala: 'We all wish [The Handmaid's Tale] was more fictional'
A celebration of Canadian women in entertainment, some of the country's most beloved talents were in Toronto for the The Hollywood Reporter Women in Entertainment Canada awards on Thursday night. Among the award recipients were Amrit Kaur, Jeanne Beker, Margaret Atwood and Tantoo Cardinal. Several of the women who accepted awards didn't just reference Canada's entertainment industry. They also spoke about escalating tensions between Canada and the U.S. "When [The Handmaid's Tale] came out, a certain number of people felt I was a lunatic, because surely the United States would never, ever do such things," Atwood said while accepting the Icon Award. "I'm sure we all wish the H.M.T. was more fictional and less of a docudrama drama. Will we all look back and say, 'Remember how scary that show was back then?' Or will we be unable to say anything at all, because we will have been censored out of existence. Meanwhile, we live in hope." When Jeanne Beker accepted the Impact Award, she spoke about how she was able to build her career in Canada, and not move to the U.S. "You do not have to move to the States to make it, you might have to move to the States to make more money," Beker said. "Things have changed so much. ... When I was rising up through the ranks in the '80s, there were not a lot of powerful women around. ... Women were kind of jealous of each other. It almost felt like, and certainly in this country, that there are only so many pieces of pie to go around." "There was an intense competition. I felt it and I felt threatened by women, I'm sorry to say, some beautiful, wonderful women. We were all just fighting to hang on to what we worked so hard for, to what we aspired to. And I have to say that slowly, but surely, over the decades, things started to change in the most amazing way. And an older woman didn't have to be threatened by a younger woman anymore. Quite the opposite." You do not have to move to the States to make it, you might have to move to the States to make more money. Amrit Kaur began her speech for the Breakthrough Award speaking about how inspired she was by Deepa Mehta's 1996 film Fire. "It was the first time I saw two women in a romantic relationship that were Indian women," Kaur said. "It was un-glamorized. It was raw. It was real. It was me. That bravery in telling the truth by the production, the artist, the director, that came out in Canada, is the reason I'm an actress." "I don't think our talents should have to go to America to break through. I think we can find more art like Fire. There are a lot of wonderful women in this room and that is so f—king rare. A lot of women decision makers, and I want you to take more chances, more risks. Women have intuition. We're not scared of the truth the way men are. We understand the human condition. We've dealt with oppression. We don't take no for an answer." Kaur also made a call for action to stop being so "polite." "I want you guys to fund art that fuels our fire as women, as humanitarians and as artists," she said. "Art that's ugly, art that's uncomfortable. But in order to do that, we have to stop being so polite." "Art isn't always polite. Art isn't always good. And as Canadians, we're so caught up in being good, we forget to be human. But I know as women, we can change that, because women know the pretence of being nice. We know the pretence of smiling, because behind every smile is a goddamn raging story." Tantoo Cardinal, who received the Equity in Entertainment Award, spoke about growing up as an Indigenous person in Canada. "I was born right into that world where people were breathing just really short breaths," Cardinal said. "There was no pride in who we were. There was shame in who we were. People who spoke the language were ridiculed." "You put the kids in school for generations and generations, and make them ashamed of who they are. ... My people have been forged in the fire and the smouldering embers of genocide. And we were not allowed to speak until the Truth and Reconciliation Commission revealed it in their findings. ... I came from a powerful people. Our history will tell you we found truth in our survival of atrocities in the marrow of the children that did survive, touched by the spirits of those who did not. ... Stories are part of the sacredness of life. We still have so many stories to change so that we might walk in balance in this new world we're creating," she said. "We must be allies. We must honour each other's truth and trust us to tell our own stories."

Oteil Burbridge on touring with Dead & Company, and drumming with Bill Walton
'Oteil From Egypt' to fans (despite the fact he grew up in D.C.) has long struck me as being cut from the same cosmic-cloth as the late great Walton often Advertisement It's a vibe Burbridge, 60, gives off in spades. Grateful for the music, seer of the magic, a childlike passion in his bones, a believer of fairy tales. Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up When I asked Burbridge about Walton, the Dead's biggest (at 6 feet 11 inches) Deadhead, he pauses. 'You know the movie ' I do. 'That's what my life with the Dead feels like,' Burbridge tells me. ' is true. It is magical. It is a fairy tale, and it is your real life. That's how Bill made me feel.' Advertisement Almost a year to the day since the death of the Boston Celtics' I called the two-time Grammy winner at his South Florida home. We talked giants, magic, fairy tales, goblins, devils — and that giant magic fairy tale of a cultural phenomenon: the Grateful Dead. Q. So you're A. Melvin Seals is so great, man. God, you see why Jerry had him for 18 years. Last September, [when] I was touring with Melvin, my mom was really sick. It was agonizing. Being with Melvin — it was magic. He's a magician. An actual magician. Anybody that can turn that kind of darkness around is doing magic, period. He's Albus Dumbledore. Q. You've played Boston with a few bands. A. I first played Boston back with [the first band I joined] Col. Bruce Hampton and the Aquarium Rescue Unit. It's a music town. There's a Boston audience for whatever you do. But Boston is the worst friggin' city to drive a tour bus through. But I'm sure you've heard that a thousand times, so I won't go on. Q. We have some narrow streets. A. You need to come in on a horse and buggy. Q. I saw on Instagram you played a replica of called ' Advertisement A. Oh, man, that was a trip. My nickname is 'Oteil from Egypt' — Col. Bruce Hampton gave me that because my name is Egyptian. I've always been into Egyptian iconography, history, religion. So that was cosmic: Oteil From Egypt Plays Osiris. In the pro-wrestling world, we call that a crowd Q. Crowds shout 'Oteil from Egypt,' I see it all the time online. Do you have any Egyptian connection? A. No. My parents are both American. They gave us all African names, because their names were super Wonder Bread. My [late musician] brother was Q. I love that. Can you remember first being drawn to music as a kid? A. I can't, because my parents were music fanatics. My dad's religion was music. My mom put headphones on her stomach when she was pregnant, so I heard Miles and Coltrane in the womb. When I wasn't even fully formed, that stuff was vibrating my cells . I have zero memories without Elvin Jones and Max Roach. Q. They were jazz drumming greats — you started on drums at age 5. A. Honestly, I think that's why I get hired so much on bass: I know how to play with a drummer. Q. You even got officially A. I was told about this 'Horning Ceremony.' I said, 'That sounds suspicious, bro.' When Advertisement Q. So as a kid, you acted, but you told me 'TV was icky business.' You also danced. A. I actually wanted to be a dancer, but Q. I had that as a kid. That's wicked painful. Is that why you switched to music? A. Exactly. I couldn't play drums because of Osgood-Schlatter, so I picked up my brother's bass. I was gunning to get in Kofi's band so I tried to musically assassinate his bass player [laughs]. I always say 'Music isn't a competition!' It's like, yeah, that's [expletive]. I should stop saying that. Q. Joining Dead drummer Bill Kreutzmann's trio, BK3 was your first direct Dead connection. A.

I love that you connected with [Dead bassist] A. I wish I'd had more of a relationship with him, but I got some quality time.

Those are some of my Advertisement Q. Did you feel intimidated joining? A. Yes and no. I mean, the Burbridge family motto is 'We do it afraid.' Q. That's a good T-shirt. A. Walking out your door is intimidating. You just have to do your homework. When you have a band that's been together for 50 years, there's a lot of homework. You cut the pie up and eat one piece at a time. Q. Did Walton ever get to see Dead & Co at the Sphere? A. No, man. I was in the gym at the Sphere and [the news of his death] came on ESPN. Thank god I got to spend so much time with Bill. He'd say things like: 'Oteil, I was a far better person after I stopped competing. When I was competing, all I wanted to do was win.' Just really beautiful stuff. Q. I interviewed him and he had this innocent, childlike way of saying profound things. A. Yes! He loved to play drums. He'd say: 'Can I set up drums and play with you? You don't have to mic 'em.' I have pictures of him playing drums with Oteil & Friends, grinning from ear to ear. To have that joy and gratitude — it's inspiring.

'Hacks' Season 5 Is Officially Happening — Here's What to Know
Hacks fans have more than just a finale to look forward to. The hit Emmy-winning series starring Jean Smart and Hannah Einbinder will officially return for a fifth season. Here is everything we know so far. FIND OUT MORE ON ELLE COLLECTIVE Yes! On May 27, Hacks was officially renewed for a fifth season. Jean Smart and Hannah Einbinder celebrated the renewal in a video posted to the 'streamonmax' Instagram account. 'I'm so excited,' said Smart. 'Hacks just got officially picked up for season 5. I'm thrilled! Congratulations to my cast and everybody in the production. And to all of our Hacks fans out there, please join us again for season 5. Yay!' Einbinder echoed those sentiments. 'It's official,' she said. 'We're coming back for season 5, baby! And don't worry, I will continue to pitch the lesbian arc.' For those who closely follow the show, the announcement of a fifth season should come as no surprise. Last year, show creators Lucia Aniello, Paul W. Downs, and Jen Statsky sat with The Hollywood Reporter to discuss their 'ideal' five-season plan for the series. Statsky said that Smart was likely to be on board, saying, 'She's somebody who's like, "Let's not dilute what it is. Let's make sure it stays high-quality."' Downs agreed. 'When we first met with her, we talked about this plan without being too specific,' he said. 'She and Hannah both read the scripts as they are written. They don't want us to say, "OK, here's what's happening this season."' It's safe to say that Jean Smart and Hannah Einbinder will return as Deborah and Ava, respectively. Paul W. Downs and Megan Stalter are also likely to reprise their roles. This story will be updated. ELLE Collective is a new community of fashion, beauty and culture lovers.
