Canadian singer Justin Bieber has said he is taking another break from touring, months after revealing he’d been diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt syndrome.
Ramsay Hunt Syndrome is a rare neurological disorder that can inflame and paralyse the facial nerve and cause a painful rash around the ear or mouth. In addition to facial paralysis, it can cause hearing loss.
COVID-19 forced two postponements before the singer’s health began surfacing.
In June, the 28-year-old megastar pushed back the North American leg of his “Justice” tour due to the syndrome.
The superstar recently went back on the road, performing six live shows in Europe as well as the Rock in Rio festival in Brazil this weekend.
But he said Tuesday his return to the stage has been brought to a stop.
“This past weekend I performed at Rock in Rio and I gave everything I have to the people in Brazil. After getting off stage, the exhaustion overtook me and I realised that I need to make my health the priority right now.
“So I’m going to take a break from touring for the time being.
“I’m going to be OK, but I need time to rest and get better. I’ve been so proud to bring this show and our message of justice to the world, ” Justin Bieber explained.
