Justin Bieber, a Canadian musician, informed his fans about his physical issue, which forced him to postpone three gigs on his Justice World Tour. Bieber announced on Instagram that he has Ramsay Hunt syndrome, which if not treated promptly will result in permanent hearing loss and other complications. According to the Mayo Clinic, complications such as permanent facial muscle weakness and deafness are possible.
The 28-year-old entertainer explained that one of his eye is not blinking and he cannot smile as his other side of the face is completely paralyzed. According to reports, Ramsay Hunt syndrome happens when a shingles outbreak disturbs the facial nerve near one of your ears, causing facial paralysis and hearing loss in the affected ear.
While announcing his condition, Bieber expressed discontent, saying he was hurt because the shows had to be rescheduled. The 28-year-old was scheduled to perform on his seven-leg, 130-date tour, but it has been put on hold as a result of his illness which the singer claims is worsening.
