The 28-year-old, who has been on his Justice world tour, now says recent shows have “taken a real toll” and he needs more time to “rest and get better”.
It comes a month after the singer announced his return to the stage.”After getting offstage, the exhaustion overtook me and I realised I need to make my health the priority right now,” he says.
“So I’m going to take a break from touring right now. I’m going to be OK, but I need to take time to rest and get better.”Shingles is linked to the chickenpox virus that many people can get when they’re children.
According to the charity Facial Palsy UK, if the immune system becomes depressed and is less able to fight off infection, the body can become vulnerable to a reactivation of the chickenpox virus.
It says stress is often a trigger as it can weaken the immune system, and people who are stressed are more likely to suffer from infections.
Justin had earlier told fans he had been doing facial exercises to regain movement, but that it would still take time to recover.
