After canceling 2 concerts in Toronto earlier this week, Justin Bieber has spoken out about his health, revealing that he has been diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt syndrome. This disease has left him with facial paralysis.
The pop singer was set to play at the Scotiabank Arena in downtown Toronto on Tuesday and Wednesday but canceled at the last minute owing to a "sickness," as he characterized it at the time.
Bieber revealed the degree of his symptoms in an Instagram video posted on Friday, in which the right-hand side of his face is visibly immobilized.
He wrote on Instagram, "As you can see, this eye is not blinking." "On this side of my face, I can't smile... In the center of my face, I'm completely paralyzed."
"So, for those irritated by my cancellations of the upcoming events, I'm physically incapable of doing them."
He stated that his body was asking him to "slow down" and hoped that people would understand.
"As you can see, this is a terrible situation. "I wish this wasn't the case," he expressed his dissatisfaction.
"It's time to simply rest and relax and get back to 100% so I can do what I was born to do," she says.
Olivia Chow, a former Canadian politician, was stricken with the same virus in 2013, resulting in restricted movement on one side of her face.
Bieber's event in Washington on June 10 also has been canceled. There are no other Canadian dates on his 2022 World Tour, and it's unknown whether any of his other upcoming appearances will be canceled.
According to Scotiabank Arena, the ticket for canceled Toronto events will be honored when the dates are rescheduled.
