The singer recently took to his social media account and shared a serious update about his health. He mentioned he was suffering from Ramsay Hunt syndrome and mentioned the situation was 'pretty serious'. He mentioned this was a sign that his body was telling him to 'slow down' and several fans sent him love and prayers as they hoped for a quick recovery. He said-

"Obviously, as you can probably see from my face, I have this syndrome called Ramsay Hunt syndrome. 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," Justin was seen saying in the video message.

This nostril will not move. So there's full paralysis in this side of my face. So for those who are frustrated with my cancellation of the next shows, I'm just physically obviously not capable of doing them. This is pretty serious, as you can see. I wish this wasn't the case, but obviously, my body's telling me I gotta slow down," he added.
