The global teenage crush, Justin Bieber, reveals to the world that he has a rare medical condition. Due to his condition at the moment he even struggles with basic daily activities like eating, drinking, and speaking. This is due to his Ramsay Hunt syndrome, which causes him to cancel all dates on the Justice World Tour. In a video that Bieber shares he asks his fans to pray for him because the situation is pretty serious. It’s not something to joke about.
Bieber takes on social media to address this condition of his and shares a three-minute video where he explains his condition. In the video that he shares on Instagram, it can be seen that his face muscles are not coordinated with one another. The cause of this condition is a painful inflammation of the nerve ganglia.
Justin Bieber Struck By Facial Paralysis – Cancels Tour Dates
According to various medical websites, the syndrome even causes a hearing loss, something that the singer cannot cope with. It is an essential part of his profession. However, the good part of the story is that this hearing loss is just temporary. Usually, it goes away after some time.
“Hey everyone Justin here, I wanted to update you guys on what’s been going on.” – he begins the video. “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.” – Justin finishes the recording.
While fans are watching the video they cannot help but notice the severe development of the diagnosis. As he speaks, his right part of the face is barely moving, and as he explains the paralysis is taking over his complete right side of the face, plus a part from his chin.
Furthermore, and this is most unsettling to watch, his eye blinking muscles are not in coordination. As he speaks and feels the need to blink, his left eye obeys his brain’s command. However, his right eye is late by some seconds and does not even close completely.
In an update on his diagnosis on Bieber’s Instagram story he shares – “Been getting progressively harder to eat which has been extremely frustrating, please pray for me”
The pop star has more than 530 million followers on Instagram alone and he shares with them that he feels a great disappointment that he will need to cancel his tour. But he assures us that this is due to an extremely justified reason.
“’Can’t believe I’m saying this. I’ve done everything to get better but my sickness is getting worse.” – Justin says. What can we do more than wish him a fast recovery and pray for him? Hope that he will get well soon and will resume his tour.
