"As you can see, this eye is not blinking, I can't smile with this side of my face, this nostril will not move, so there is full paralysis in this side of my face."

Shingle outbreak

People reported that medical experts said that Ramsay Hunt syndrome occurs when a shingles outbreak affects the facial nerve near one of your ears and can cause facial paralysis and hearing loss in the affected ear.

According to Mayo Clinic, the risk of complications can include permanent facial muscle weakness and deafness.

On Thursday, June 09, 2022, YEN.com.gh reported Bieber was forced to postpone the next few shows of his Justice World Tour, under a doctor's orders.

The 28-year-old was set to continue performing this week on his seven-leg, 130-date tour, but it has been brought to a halt due to a non-Covid-related illness, which he says is getting worse.

Heartbroken

According to Daily Mirror, Bieber appeared to leave Canada, heartbroken as he announced the sad news on his Instagram Story.

"Can't believe I'm saying this. I have done everything to get better but my sickness is getting worse. My heart breaks that I will have to postpone these next few shows (doctors orders). To all my people I love you so much and I'm gonna rest and get better," he said.
