The ‘Sorry’ singer was even forced to cancel tour dates after suffering temporary facial paralysis from Ramsay Hunt syndrome.
This is caused by the same virus as chickenpox – which becomes reactivated after laying dormant for years and leads to inflammation and irritation on the facial nerves, as per Mayo Clinic.
In an Instagram post, Bieber shows his face visibly twitching as he explains to fans information about his condition.
In the video, he is seen attempting to smile, blink, and move his face. However, one side remains still as he continues to speak.
This obviously left fans concerned for Bieber’s health.
At the time, the pop star said: “Obviously as you can probably see with my face.
“I have this syndrome called Ramsay Hunt syndrome and it is from this virus that attacks the nerves in my ear and my facial nerves and has caused my face to have paralysis.”
In response, fans took to the comments and shared their support.
One fan wrote: “Sad news. Love you, Justin Bieber, you take all the time you need to get better get well soon.”
Another added: “Sending prayers, get better soon dude.”
Bieber was set to conclude his Justice world tour but was forced to cancel the remaining dates as he continued recovering from Ramsay Hunt syndrome.
But almost a year after his diagnosis, he shared some positive news that made fans happy.
In an Instagram story captioned ‘wait for it’, he is straight-faced before smiling at the camera – revealing that he has full mobility in his face once again.
Needless to say, fans have been left delighted on social media to see the ‘Yummy’ singer cracking a smile once again.
One person pens: “Wow, Justin looks amazing! So inspiring to see him overcoming his rare syndrome.”
“I’m happy for his recovery,” adds someone else.
A third fan comments: “So glad he’s doing good.”
While another person says: “He looks so much better and healthier happy for him.”
“So happy to hear this… he looks like him again,” a fifth fan adds.
