Justin Bieber has cancelled the remaining shows on his international tour after revealing in June that he’s suffering from a rare condition called Ramsay Hunt syndrome that had paralyzed one side of his face.Bieber hasn’t posted a new update about cutting the tour short. Here are answers to common questions about Ramsay Hunt syndrome.Ramsay Hunt syndrome is a rare neurological disorder that can occur in people who were previously infected with chickenpox.If the dormant varicella-zoster virus is reactivated, leading to shingles, it can affect the facial nerve and may lead to facial paralysis and hearing loss.
Symptoms of the condition can include blisters in the ears or the roof of the mouth.Last year, Bieber described the effects of Ramsay Hunt syndrome in an Instagram video. “It is from this virus that attacks the nerve in my ear and my facial nerves, and has caused my face to have paralysis,” he said. “As you can see, this eye is not blinking. I can’t smile on this side of my face. This nostril will not move.”
