Justin Bieber is battling a serious virus. In an Instagram video shared on June 10, the 28-year-old singer revealed that the right side of his face is currently paralyzed and he’ll have to take some time off of work to get better.
In the video shared on Friday, which you can see below, Justin explained he’s been diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt Syndrome, which has affected the nerve in his right ear, causing the paralysis.

“Obviously as you can probably see with my face. I have this syndrome called Ramsay Hunt syndrome and it is from this virus that attacks the nerves in my ear and my facial nerves and has caused my face to have paralysis,” he said.
As you can see, Justin is unable to blink his right eye, and he can only smile with half of his face at this time. It’s actually why the singer recently cancelled a string of shows over the last week.

In the video message to his fans, Justin actually apologized for cancelling those shows, but he said this illness is “pretty serious” and he’ll need to take even more time off to get healthy again.
Justin further said that he’s been doing facial exercises and over time, he should get healthy again. But how long that’ll take, even Justin doesn’t know. Justin’s seven-leg, 130-date Justice World Tour kicked off in February, but when he and wife Hailey Bieber both got COVID, a few shows were cancelled.
