It was announced that Justin Bieber is suffering from a rare form of facial paralysis, which leaves him unable to move parts of his face.
In an Instagram video, Bieber said he will be forced to cancel upcoming appearances due to his recent diagnosis of Ramsay Hunt syndrome.
“It is from this virus that attacks the nerve in my ear and my facial nerves and has caused my face to have paralysis,” he said in the video. “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.”
Madison Square Garden in New York was to host Bieber on Monday for his next tour stop.
“It is pretty serious,” he said. “My body is telling me I need to slow down. I hope you guys understand.”
Justin Bieber has not announced a return date for his tour. Fans are on the edge of their seats with anticipation. One thing is for sure fans worldwide still adore him. We will be waiting.
