Justin Bieber sent his Mosman fans into a frenzy of excitement on Friday after he blew his own cover by wandering the neighbourhood, in search of chicken it seems.
The pop sensation was spotted at a charcoal chicken shop around the corner from the $20 million property he is renting on Coronation Avenue.
Located on the luxury Balmoral slopes, it is the very same mansion Adele rented out last week while in Sydney for her first tour of Australia. Adele, however, ultimately opted to stay in Hunters Hill.
The three-level house was withdrawn from the market when Adele touched down in Sydney by the selling agent Brendan Warner, of Raine & Horne Mosman, but has since been relisted on Domain with a $20 million asking price.
A local in Mosman said on Friday afternoon there were gangs of girls from the nearby Queenwood School for Girls running around the streets surrounding the house looking for the international pop star.
Word of Bieber’s stay in the exclusive suburb spread quickly on Friday after reports first surfaced through the local school network.

“He apparently walked across the road from his house to pat a dog, said hello to the neighbours and went to Maccas in Cremorne,” said a source on the condition of anonymity. “He was apparently at the Buena Vista Hotel last night.”
Warner declined to comment on the high-profile guest at his listed residence, nor disclose the rental rate.
The luxury property is a contender to set a suburb record if it sell for more than $20 million thanks to lavish high-end finishes and a cutting edge-design.
It is the creation of Cameron MacDonald, a London-based creator of luxury homes with turn-key offerings in Knightsbridge, Mayfair and now Balmoral.
“This is a house built for billionaires, and by far the best fit-out internally of any house I’ve seen,” Warner told Domain last month. “It’s like a three-level penthouse with these harbour views.”
The turn-key nature of it means everything is included, from the high-end finishes, seamless joinery and design by architect Harlan Redgen, bespoke furniture and a curated art collection.
