Smile again, in the truest sense of the word. Fans of Justin Bieber could only be moved by the singer’s Instagram story. His face surrounded by a gray hood and the words “Wait”, then his eyes move, his eyebrows rise and fall, and suddenly his mouth opens into a wide smile. Last June when he spoke about his rare Ramsay Hunt Syndrome, his face was paralyzed and it was impossible to smile..

Ramsey-Hunt syndrome is a neurological disorder that occurs when the varicella-zoster virus infects a nerve in the head near the inner ear. The symptoms also include facial paresis, as Bieber showed in the video. “As you can see,” the singer explained on social networks, “from this eye I can’t blink, I can’t smile, my nostril doesn’t move. This part of my face is completely paralyzed”. For this, the artist had to rest and devote himself to physical therapy.

In June last year, due to illness, the singer was forced to cancel some stages of his performance. Justice World Tour. “I made sure everything went well, but my illness is getting worse and I have to reschedule the dates because the doctors told me so,” he told fans on Instagram. The same thing happened in September: “After I left the stage, I was overcome with fatigue, and I realized that now I have to make my health a priority,” Bieber repeated again, “so for now I will take a break from the tour “. . I’ll be fine, but I need time to rest and recover.”. In July 2022, his colleague and friend Asher spoke about meeting Bieber and seeing the first improvements. The risk was that the paralysis would become permanent and hearing loss would set in. Now, judging by his smile, it seems that rest and treatment are good results.
