Justin Bieber has issued a health update after receiving a heartbreaking diagnosis.

The ‘Baby’ singer is one of the biggest musicians of the last decade, with huge hits such as ‘Love Yourself’ and ‘What Do You Mean?’.

Bieber has been in the spotlight since he was 15 years old and is one of the most scrutinized celebrities in recent times.

The ‘Peaches’ artist recently revealed a shocking health diagnosis and he’s now providing fans with an update.

The ‘Sorry’ singer was even forced to cancel tour dates after suffering temporary facial paralysis from Ramsay Hunt syndrome.

This is caused by the same virus as chickenpox – which becomes reactivated after laying dormant for years and leads to inflammation and irritation on the facial nerves, as per Mayo Clinic.

In an Instagram post, Bieber shows his face visibly twitching as he explains to fans information about his condition.

In the video, he is seen attempting to smile, blink, and move his face. However, one side remains still as he continues to speak.

This obviously left fans concerned for Bieber’s health.

At the time, the pop star said: “Obviously as you can probably see with my face.

“I have this syndrome called Ramsay Hunt syndrome and it is from this virus that attacks the nerves in my ear and my facial nerves and has caused my face to have paralysis.”

In response, fans took to the comments and shared their support.

One fan wrote: “Sad news. Love you, Justin Bieber, you take all the time you need to get better get well soon.”

Another added: “Sending prayers, get better soon dude.”

Bieber was set to conclude his Justice world tour but was forced to cancel the remaining dates as he continued recovering from Ramsay Hunt syndrome.

But almost a year after his diagnosis, he shared some positive news that made fans happy.

In an Instagram story captioned ‘wait for it’, he is straight-faced before smiling at the camera – revealing that he has full mobility in his face once again.

While another person says: “He looks so much better and healthier happy for him.”
