NEW YORK – Pop singer Justin Bieber is taking a break from a world tour as the 28-year-old is suffering from paralysis on one side of his face.
The musician shared the update in a recent clip posted to Instagram, saying he has been diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt Syndrome – which is causing him partial facial paralysis.
He mentioned that it was the virus that attacks the nerve in his ear and facial nerves. “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,” Justin can be heard in the video.
