The celebrity artist Justin Bieber claims the reason for the suspension of his tour is a rare disease that left half of his face paralyzed. According to a video the multi-Grammy winner uploaded on Instagram, he has Ramsay Hunt syndrome. Through a shingles outbreak, the illness damages the nerves in the face and paralyzes the face. After postponing his performances in Toronto and Washington, D.C., Bieber revealed in a video that he was suffering from a "very terrible" illness and could hardly move one side of his face.

“For those frustrated by my cancellations of the next shows, I’m just physically, obviously not capable of doing them,” he said. The singer added, “My body’s telling me I’ve got to slow down. I hope you guys understand.” The length of his recovery is unknown, according to Bieber. But he was confident that rest and therapy would help him fully recover. “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,” he said.

Recovery times could differ greatly, according to Derick Wade, a consultant in neurological rehabilitation and visiting lecturer at Oxford Brookes University in the United Kingdom. “If a nerve is damaged in this way, it can recover in some people very quickly, in a few days or a few weeks, and in other people can take several months. So it’s a very unpredictable affair,” he said. Hailey Bieber, Justin Bieber's wife, underwent surgery to remove a blood clot from her brain in March.
