Justin Bieber Recovers From Facial Paralysis

by

At the beginning of the month, Justin Bieber had to cancel the rest of his Justice World Tour, and all future events, including his U.S. tour in 2024. The reason for it being that he was still diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt Syndrome. He had tried to fight through the facial paralysis for the tour. Bieber had been infected with the syndrome in June of last year. He was currently on tour, so Bieber paused it for almost two months to recover, before canceling the tour. He must have accepted that he was never going to be able to recover from it. In September, he tweeted about the experience. “I performed six live shows, but it took a real toll on me.”

Ramsay Hunt Syndrome, also known as herpes zoster oticus, is a complication of shingles. The name comes from the neurologist who first described it, back in 1907, James Ramsay Hunt. It is caused by the virus reactivating at the facial nerve. On top of facial paralysis, it could also cause a rash and several other problems. Treatment for the syndrome includes antiviral medication, steroids to reduce inflammation of the nerve, and pain relievers. Only about 70% of people are able to fully or almost fully recover from the syndrome.

Justin Bieber Recovers

On Wednesday, Bieber posted on Instagram a video of his improvement. It has a caption of “Wait for it” with Bieber looking around. Eventually, he smiled with his full face for us for the first time in a year. It is amazing that Justin Bieber was able to fully recover from the paralysis. There was a chance that he would have been permanently paralyzed, especially with how bad it must have been for it to have taken almost a full year for his recovery.

Hopefully, now that his face is recovered again, Bieber will be able to un-cancel some of those shows for his U.S. tour and maybe even make some new songs from the experience. Despite the pain he was in, Bieber was able to have a religious experience from it. He had talked about it in June. Regardless of what he does, it will probably be done with caution so he does not injure himself again.

Justin Bieber Cancels Remaining Justice World Tour Dates

Bieber mania is happening online these days, and surprisingly enough, it doesn’t have to do with Justin Bieber. The megastar’s wife, Hailey, has been a hot topic across the globe as her name has been entangled in a drama involving Justin’s ex-girlfriend, Selena Gomez. While that unfolds, news surfaced about the singer’s Justice Tour, which looks like it has been postponed again. Last year, Bieber detailed his health struggles with Ramsay Hunt Syndrome, which caused him to derail his touring plans.

At the time, the singer shared a video explaining his diagnosis. Visibly, viewers could see he couldn’t control one side of his face. “This is pretty serious, as you can see,” he said in the clip. “I wish this wasn’t the case. But obviously, my body is telling me I need to slow down.” He added, “As the result of this illness, I was not able to complete the North American 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.”

Tour Dates Vanish From Websites

Since then, the Justice World Tour has faced its ups and downs as production has attempted to work around Bieber’s recovery. By July 2022, an announcement stated Bieber would be taking to stages in several countries. However, in September, he once again shared that the remainder of the tour would have to wait just a tad longer. Seventy concerts were on the horizon for 2023, but it seems Bieber is taking more time off.

This week, sleuths noticed that tour dates had been axed. On his website, dates were removed. The same is said for Ticketmaster, where dates in several states across the U.S. were also deleted. The update has spread like wildfire across social media; however, Bieber nor his team have addressed the controversy. With all that is bubbling online about his marriage, fans are surprised by the news.

Hailey Bieber Faces Backlash

Since the Biebers wed in 2018, the pop culture public won’t let them rest. It was rumored that the pair tied the knot only months after Bieber officially ended things with Gomez. He dated the pop star on and off since 2011, and many thought they would be together for the long haul. Fans have made things particularly difficult, especially in recent weeks, as they accuse Hailey of stalking and copying Gomez. Some speculate that health problems could be the reason for the postponed Justice Tour, while others think there’s trouble in paradise.
