The 28-year-old pop star postponed a series of concerts earlier this year after being diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt syndrome – a rare neurological condition that left him suffering facial paralysis – and Bieber has now revealed via social media that he’s stepping back from touring to focus on his health. The singer – who performed in Brazil over the weekend – said on his Instagram Story: “Earlier this year, I went public about my battle with Ramsay Hunt Syndrome, where my face was partly paralysed.
“As a result of this illness, I was not able to complete the North America leg of the Justice Tour.
“After resting and consulting with my doctors, family and team, I went to Europe in an effort to continue with the tour. I performed six live shows, but it took a real toll on me. This past weekend, I performed at Rock in Rio and I gave everything I have, to the people in Brazil. After getting off stage, the exhaustion overtook me and I realised I need to make my health the priority right now.
“So I’m going to take a break from touring for the time being. I’m going to be OK, but I need time to rest and get better. (sic)”
Bieber also thanked his fans for their recent support. He said: “I’ve been so proud to bring this show and our message of justice to the world. Thank you for your prayers and support throughout all of this! I love you all passionately!”
Earlier this year, he opened up about his experience of Ramsay Hunt syndrome. He said: “As you can see, this eye is not blinking. I can’t smile on this side of my face. This nostril will not move.
