Justin Bieber has canceled his world tour following a health scare.
The 28-year-old shared the news with his fans via Instagram Stories. The singer said:
“So I’m going to take a break from touring for the time being,”
“I’m going to be okay, but I need time to rest and get better.”
The tour was originally planned to scheduled to take place in 2021 but was rescheduled due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
After it was rescheduled, the star was forced to cancel a second time due to health issues. The Canadian was diagnosed with a rare illness called Ramsay Hunt syndrome, which can cause not only hearing loss but facial paralysis.
In the video he posted for fans, the singer said:
“I wanted to update you guys on what’s been going on,” Bieber said in the video message.
“Obviously, as you can probably see from my face, I have this syndrome called Ramsay Hunt syndrome and it is from this virus that attacks the nerve in my ear and my facial nerves and has caused my face to have paralysis.
“So for those who are frustrated by my cancellations of [my] next shows, I’m just physically obviously not capable of doing them.
“This is pretty serious as you can see. I wish this wasn’t the case, but obviously my body’s telling me I gotta slow down.”
The ‘Hold On’ singer also posted the following:
The artist has performed six live shows in the European leg of the tour, but admits that due to his battle with Ramsay-Hunt syndrome, it has taken its toll on his physical health and he needs to take a break.
He admitted that the medical professionals do not have a time frame for him on how much rest and recovery he will need.
We wish him a speedy recovery!
