Justin Bieber opened up about his scary health battle after announcing that he would be postponing his Justice World Tour hours before his first scheduled performance.

The Honest hitmaker, 28, hopped on Instagram with a candid video on Friday, revealing that he was diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt syndrome.

“I wanted to update you guys on what’s been going on,” Bieber began.

“As you can probably see from my face, I have this syndrome called Ramsay Hunt syndrome and it is from this virus that attacks the nerve in my ear, and my facial nerves, and has caused my face to have paralysis,” he continued, highlighting that his right eye will not blink.

Bieber also added that he can’t smile on his right side or move his nostril.

Ramsay Hunt syndrome is a complication of shingles that can lead to facial paralysis and hearing loss in the affected ear.

“This is pretty serious as you can see. I wish this wasn’t the case, but obviously, my body is telling me I gotta slow down and I hope you guys understand,” the Confident crooner said, noting he’s been doing facial exercises in an effort to make it better.

Bieber told fans that he is expected to have a full recovery and get back to normal but his doctors advised him to rest in the meantime.
