o The singer is putting his mental health first by suspending his Justice World Tour.
o He’s been on tour since March, but as of yesterday, the remaining 70 shows have been suspended due to health concerns.
o Justin shared his decision with fans via social media writing, “Earlier this year, I went public about my battle with Ramsay-Hunt Syndrome, where my face was partly paralyzed. As the result of this illness, I was not able to complete the North America leg of the Justice Tour. After resting and consulting with doctors, family and team, I went to Europe in an effort to continue with the tour.”
o He continued, “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.”
