Justin Bieber’s tour promoter AEG announced Thursday the cancellation of the rest of his remaining tour dates in the United States through the summer following the singer’s diagnosis with a rare syndrome that has left him with facial “paralysis” on one side.
In a statement on Twitter, the 28-year-old pop singer’s tour promoter shared that, in light of what the pop star had been going through, the remaining dates in the U.S. for Bieber’s Justice World Tour were being “postponed.” It comes after the singer revealed that he was diagnosed with a rare condition called Ramsay Hunt syndrome that has left him suffering “full paralysis” on one side of his face.
“In light of Justin’s ongoing recovery, the remaining U.S. Justice Tour shows scheduled for June and early July,
including at Summerfest at the American Family Insurance Amphitheater in Milwaukee, Wl on Friday, June 24, 2022 will be postponed,” a statement from Bieber’s tour promoter AEG Presents on social media read.

“Justin continues to receive the best medical care possible, is upbeat about his recovery, and is looking forward to getting back out on the road and performing for his fans overseas later this summer,” it added.
On his website, the only remaining dates for his shows are all overseas starting July 2022 and ending March 2023.
On Monday, the “Baby” hitmaker took to Instagram in a now-deleted post where he informed fans that “each day has gotten better” as he deals with the “discomfort” of the paralysis. Bieber said that through it all, his faith has brought him “peace,” as The Daily Wire previously reported.
“Wanted to share a little bit of how I’ve been feelin[g],” the pop star wrote on social media. “Each day has gotten better. And through all of the discomfort I have found comfort in the one who designed me and knows me.”
“I’m reminded he knows all of me,” he added. “He know[s] the darkest parts of me that I want no one to know about and he constantly welcomes me into his loving arms. This perspective has given me peace during this horrific storm that I’m facing.”
“I know this storm will pass but in the meantime JESUS IS WITH ME,” Bieber continued.
He captioned his post, “By this point in my life I realize storms come and go. Jesus continues to remind me that he is with me in the midst of the storm,” Page Six noted. “It’s not about the storm. It’s that we are NEVER ALONE AND HE UNDERSTANDS.”
The “Peaches” hitmaker recently shared a video with fans showing his partial face paralysis as he explained why he had to cancel a few concert dates at the time, and revealed the terrifying experience he had been going through, as previously reported. The rare disease is connected to having the chicken pox/shingles virus.
In the clip he posted on Instagram, the entire time Bieber was speaking to fans, one side of his face didn’t move at all, while on the other side, his mouth moved up and down and his eye blinked.
The pop star is married to 25-year-old supermodel Hailey Bieber.
