Justin Bieber Has a Paralyzed Face: What is Ramsay Hunt Syndrome? † Currently

An eye that doesn’t blink and a corner of his mouth hanging out: Justin Bieber can only move his face halfway and has had to cancel some of his concerts. He said last week that the singer suffers from Ramsay Hunt syndrome. What exactly is this and does it have anything to do with Bieber’s previous diagnosis of Lyme?

Justin Bieber is completely unlucky: the singer has already struggled with Pfeiffer, suffered from Lyme disease, and now has to cancel at least part of his world tour due to Ramsay Hunt syndrome. He shared a video of himself on social media explaining what was going on, following particularly angry and disturbing messages when he canceled his concerts. And he made it very clear right away: it showed how half of his face simply did not work.

“I can’t smile on that side of my face, and that nostril can’t move, so it’s a complete paralysis on this side of my face,” the singer said. Performance is not an option for a while and Bieber will take it easy to make sure he recovers fully, as this is possible if you have this syndrome.

Pfeiffer is caused by a viral illness and Lyme disease by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi, which you get after being bitten by an infected tick. The singer says he was well treated for Lyme and Pfeiffer’s disease, but his body took a huge hit.
