In June 2022, Bieber revealed he had been diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt syndrome, referring to his diagnosis as "pretty serious."
Bieber shared the news via a video which showed him unable to blink one of his eyes. Additionally, he could only smile with one side of his mouth at that time.
According to Mayo Clinic, Ramsay Hunt syndrome "occurs when a shingles outbreak affects the facial nerve near one of your ears." The virus "can cause facial paralysis and hearing loss in the affected ear."
Treatment for the condition includes a series of facial exercises as well as rest.

"In light of Justin’s ongoing recovery, the remaining U.S. tour shows scheduled for June and early July will be postponed," a statement read at the time.
Bieber officially cancelled the tour in February.
