Justin Bieber Is Battling A Virus That Has Paralyzed Half His Face

 Justin Bieber has announced he’s been diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt syndrome, which has left him with a form of facial paralysis.

 Bieber who cancelled concerts in Toronto earlier this week because of his health posted a video depicting the extent of his symptoms on Instagram on Friday, during which he is visibly paralyzed on the right side of his face.

“As you can see, this eye is not blinking,” the pop superstar said on Instagram. “I can’t smile on this side of my face…there’s full paralysis in the centre of my face.”

“So for those frustrated by my cancellations of the next shows, I’m just physically, obviously, incapable of doing them.”

“My body is telling me to slow down,” he said, asking that fans understand.

“This is pretty serious as you can see. I wish this wasn’t the case,” he said.

“It’s time to just rest and relax and get back to 100 per cent so that I can do what I was born to do.”

Currently, the artist is using facial exercises to help with his paralysis, but he is not sure how long it will take for him to recover.
