On Friday, Justin Bieber revealed that he has been diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt Syndrome and now is suffering from partial face paralysis. While apologising to his fans, the 20-year-old singer said that his condition is ‘pretty serious’.
Justin took to Instagram and stated that some of his shows have been cancelled so that he can recover from Ramsay Hunt Syndrome. In the video that he shared on social media, he stated, “It is from this virus that attacks the nerve in my ear and my facial nerves and has caused my face to have paralysis. As you can see this eye is not blinking. I can’t smile on this side of my face; this nostril will not move. So there’s full paralysis on this side of my face.”
He continued, “this is pretty serious, as you can see. I wish this wasn’t the case, but, obviously, my body’s telling me I’ve got to slow down. I hope you guys understand. I’ll be using this time to just rest and relax and get back to a hundred percent so that I can do what I was born to do.”
Meanwhile, his fans are worried about him. As per Ticket News, his concerts that were scheduled in Toronto and at Capital One Arena in Washington D.C. this week, have been postponed. However, there is no confirmation about his concert that was supposed to happen on June 13 at Madison Square Garden, New York. He has around 11 shows in the US this month, but it is not clear whether he will be performing there or not.
Earlier, he cancelled a few gigs after being diagnosed with Covid-19. Concerts were supposed to happen in 2020, but they were postponed due to pandemics. His tour finally started earlier this year.
