MANILA, Philippines — Canadian singer Justin Bieber has canceled his concert shows in Toronto, Canada and Washington D.C., United States after revealing he is suffering from a virus that causes face paralysis.
Bieber took to Instagram via a video post to explain to followers that he is suffering from Ramsay Hunt syndrome, which affects nerves in the face.
The three-minute video sees Bieber unable to move the right side of his face — his eye not blinking, his nostril not flaring, and a part of his mouth not able to smile.
"For those who are frustrated by my cancellations of the next shows, I’m just physically, obviously not capable of doing them. This is pretty serious. As you can see,” Bieber said apologetically.
