In 2022, Justin Bieber briefly started his “Justice” world tour, but, to fans’ surprise, he began postponing shows. The Canadian star delayed his shows in Toronto due to an undisclosed illness, per KS95. Fans were upset because this had been Bieber’s third time canceling or postponing a show, specifically in Toronto. What they didn’t know was that Bieber was suffering from a serious illness.
After much backlash, the “Peaches” singer took to Instagram to explain his reasoning for canceling the shows. Bieber posted a three-minute video explaining he had been dealing with Ramsay Hunt syndrome. According to Mayo Clinic, Ramsay Hunt syndrome occurs because of a shingles outbreak. The temporary syndrome can cause facial paralysis and even hearing loss. Unfortunately for Bieber, he had to deal with some serious side effects. He said, “[Ramsay Hunt Syndrome] has caused my face to have paralysis. As you can see this eye is not blinking. I can’t smile on this side of my face; this nostril will not move. So there’s full paralysis on this side of my face.”

Bieber also addressed the fans who were upset by his cancellation of shows, saying that he was “physically, obviously, not capable of doing them.” While it was revealed that the singer was on track to make a full recovery, it didn’t take long for him to cancel the rest of his tour dates, per CBS Los Angeles.
