In June this year, singer Justin Bieber announced that he was diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt Syndrome, a syndrome which had paralyzed half of his face. Due to this, he had even cancelled a few concerts earlier, concentrating on his health. However, now, Justin recently released an official statement, stating that he has cancelled all his world tour concerts as he wants to prioritise his health which deteriorated after performing at some concerts earlier. He now wants to take ‘rest and get better.’
Justin said in his statement, “Earlier this year, I went public about my battle with Ramsay Hunt syndrome, where my face was partly paralyzed. As a result of this illness, I was not able to complete the North America leg of the Justice Tour. After resting and consulting with my doctors, family and my team, I went to Europe in an effort to continue with the tour. I performed six live shows, but it took a real toll on me. This past weekend I performed at Rock in Rio and I gave everything I have to the people in Brazil.”
“After getting off stage, the exhaustion overtook me and I realized that I needed to make my health a priority right now. So I’m going to take a break from touring for the time being. I’m going to be OK, but I need time to rest and get better. I’ve been so proud to bring this show and our message of justice to the world. Thank you for your prayers and support throughout all of this exclamation point I love you all passionately,” the Peach singer further continued.

Moreover, it seems like the show in India is going to happen. Justin is scheduled to perform in New Delhi’s Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium on October 18 as part of his Justice Tour. In a statement, a representative from BookMyShow, who is promoting the event, says that the concert is very much on.
“We are aware that Justin Bieber has decided to take a break from touring and wish him a speedy recovery. We admire his decision to put his health first and can’t wait to see him back on the road. As per our understanding, the Asia leg of the Justice Tour, which includes the New Delhi show in October, is set to continue as scheduled,” the representative says.
