Justin Bieber announced Tuesday that he will be canceling his remaining tour dates in order to prioritize his health.

Bieber was diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt syndrome in June after experiencing facial paralysis.

After that diagnosis the singer postponed multiple shows on the North American leg of his tour, stating that he was physically unable to perform.

Bieber returned from his hiatus and performed six live shows. However yesterday he announced that he decided to cancel the rest of the tour to rest and recover.

After getting off stage, the exhaustion overtook me and I realized that I need to make my health the priority right now,” Bieber wrote in an Instagram story.

Ramsay Hunt syndrome is caused by the same virus that causes chickenpox

The virus stays in your body for years and can be reactivated and cause shingles.

The two main signs of Ramsay Hunt syndrome are a painful rash with blisters on, in or around one ear and facial weakness or paralysis on the same side as the affected ear.
