Justin Bieber has decided to come clean about his health after shockingly canceling his tours in Toronto and D.C. earlier this week. It can be remembered he said he was going through something but failed to specify it, causing some fans to be even be mad because certain tour dates won't be pushing through.

It appears that the singer will not get back on the road anytime soon as he was diagnosed with a shocking condition.

The "Justice" hitmaker took to his Instagram account to share a video of himself explaining what he's currently going through medically.

The singer revealed he had been diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt syndrome, a condition/rare virus that affects the nerves around the facial area.

The syndrome could also cause paralysis, as seen on the video.

Bieber explained that the right side of his face couldn't move, and he could only close his eye and smile on the left side.

"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 the side of my face," he said on the three-minute video. (via Rolling Stone)

He then gave a message to his fans that are frustrated by the cancelation of tour dates, saying he's physically not capable of performing because of his "pretty serious" condition.

For his next move amid his diagnosis, Bieber said he would "rest and relax" as his body is telling him to slow down before he returns to the stage.

He will also practice some facial exercises to get his face back where it was supposed to be.

The singer is positive that the condition will go away soon as he affirms that it will go back to normal.

"I have hope, and I trust God, and I trust that this is all for a reason. I'm not sure what that is right now. But in the meantime, I'm gonna rest," he added.

The latest news comes a few days after Bieber postponed his dates for "Justice World Tour," saying he had to cancel his performances due to non-COVID-related sickness.

His next show was supposed to be at the Madison Square Garden in New York City on June 13, 2022.

As of this writing, his team has not announced whether international dates will also be canceled. Information about refund of tickets and re-schedules has also not been announced.
