More on Justin Bieber's diagnosis
In his 3-minute-long video, Justin shares that he cannot blink the eye on the paralyzed side and is neither able to emote nor move his lip to smile. However, the Grammy-award winner shares that he has been doing facial exercises and resting to get back on track.
Ramsay Hunt is a rare syndrome that happens due to a virus attack caused by the varicella-zoster virus. This infects the nerves on the side of the face, which restricts movements, as seen in Justin’s video. While being treatable and temporary, the syndrome can get better in a few months or years. However, some damage caused can be permanent.
Not long ago, Justin Bieber’s wife Hailey, too, experienced a health scare after she was admitted to the hospital to treat a blood clot. She also underwent surgery. Hailey later shared the health update on her Instagram, saying she is fit now.
Justin in on his 130-day Justice World tour; however, due to illness, he canceled his performances in Toronto, Washington DC, and New York.
