(New York) Le chanteur Justin Bieber, qui vient d’annuler deux dates de concert à Toronto (Canada), a annoncé vendredi sur son compte Instagram qu’il souffrait d’un syndrome rare paralysant un côté de son visage, l’obligeant à annuler la suite de sa tournée.

« Bonjour tout le monde […] as you can see on my face, I have this syndrome called Ramsay Hunt, ”explains the world star in a video posted on his account to 240 million subscribers.
“There is complete paralysis on this side of my face,” continues the Canadian, showing that he can only blink with one eye, or smile with only one side of his mouth.
“So for those who are frustrated with the cancellations of my upcoming shows, I’m just not physically able to do them. It’s pretty serious as you can see,” adds the 28-year-old singer.
While his Justice World Tour was to stop Monday and Tuesday in New York, at the famous Madison Square Garden, then continue on several dates in the United States before leaving for Europe, Justin Bieber gave no indication of a resumption of his tour.
It had already been postponed twice due to the pandemic and the cancellation of the concerts in Toronto angered some fans on social media.
The Canadian singer had been nominated in eight categories at the Grammy Awards this year but he had not won any awards. He received two throughout his career.
Ramsay Hunt syndrome is a complication of shingles that occurs when a flare-up affects the facial nerve near one ear. In addition to facial paralysis, it can cause hearing loss.
The singer of Peaches said he was doing facial exercises and taking time to “rest and relax and get back to 100 percent.”
