Justin Bieber took to social media last week to share with his fans that he has a medical condition causing facial paralysis, and won’t be able to perform until it is resolved. The paralysis is due to a condition called Ramsay Hunt syndrome, which has left unable to perform.
“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 said in a video posted to his Instagram. “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.”

“This is pretty serious, as you can see. I wish this wasn’t the case, but, obviously, my body’s telling me I’ve got to slow down,” he said. “I hope you guys understand. I’ll be using this time to just rest and relax and get back to a hundred percent so that I can do what I was born to do.”
Initially, Bieber postponed concerts scheduled for Toronto and Washington D.C., but shows last weekend in New York were subsequently called off. Then, late this week, promoter AEG informed fans that his entire remaining run of U.S. shows on the Justice World Tour would have to be postponed.
“In light of Justin’s ongoing recovery, the remaining US Justice Tour shows scheduled for June and early July, including at Summerfest at the @amfamamp in Milwaukee, WI on Friday, June 24, 2022 will be postponed,” a tweet from Summerfest reported. “Justin continues to receive the best medical care possible, is upbeat about his recovery, and is looking forward to getting back out on the road and performing for his fans overseas later this summer.”
Dates on the Justice World Tour continue well into 2023, with stops all over the globe on the calendar for the singer. His U.S. run had bene scheduled to conclude with a pair of shows in Los Angeles in early July, and then resume at the end of that month with shows in Europe. With the U.S. dates cleared, Bieber now has several weeks off to recover prior to his next scheduled show, at Summer Festival Lucca in Italy on July 31.
Fans with tickets to the postponed U.S. shows will be able to use them when the shows are rescheduled. For those who purchased tickets directly from the box office, there will be a period where a refund can be requested from the promoter once the new dates are announced.
