US pop star kicks off 10-night residency at London 's O2 Arena with slick, two-hour show.

Titled " Past, Present, Future ", the tour is billed as an "intimate" look at his 30-year career.

But the show felt oddly rough around the edges - including a handful of on-stage stumbles and missed musical cues.

At times, he struggled to hold the audience's attention during the slow jams.

The UK has always preferred him in club mode - and it was his three biggest-sellers.

By the encore, he'd given up pretence of being a high-rolling playboy.
