Los Angeles, June 11 : In a shocking revelation, pop sensation Justin Bieber has said that he was suffering from partial facial paralysis.
After cancelling shows this week, the 28-year-old singer took to Instagram and revealed that he has been diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt syndrome.
Sharing a three-minute video, he captioned the post: “IMPORTANT PLEASE WATCH. I love you guys and keep me in your prayers.”
He said, “Obviously, as you can probably see from my face, I have this syndrome called Ramsay Hunt and it is from this virus that attacks the nerve in my ear and my facial nerves, and has caused my face to have paralysis. 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 this side of my face.”
The ‘Baby’ singer said he was physically unable to perform his upcoming shows but was doing facial exercises and would soon recover.
“This is pretty serious, as you can see. I wish this wasn’t the case, but, obviously, my body’s telling me I’ve got to slow down. I hope you guys understand. I’ll be using this time to just rest and relax and get back to a hundred percent so that I can do what I was born to do.
“It will go back to normal. It`s just time, and we don`t know how much time that`s going to be.”
Following the announcement, several fans and celebrities have reacted to the post.
Khloe Kardashian wrote, “we are praying for you! We love you!!! Rest up! Everyone understands.”
DJ Khaled said, “Love u brother ! U will be great ! Rest up brother. We love u ! GOD LOVES U ! WE LOVE GOD ! Love forever!.”
Bear Grylls commented, “So brave. You’re going to be fine buddy…. And you’re truly loved by many and always in our prayers.”
