Justin Bieber has shared an update on current his battle with Ramsay Hunt syndrome, which – as he revealed to fans over the weekend – has temporarily paralysed the entire right side of his face.Last Saturday (June 11), Bieber posted a video explaining that he was recently diagnosed with the rare condition, which, according to the Mayo Clinic, “occurs when a shingles outbreak affects the facial nerve near one of your ears”.

In his video, Bieber can be seen struggling to blink, smile or move his right nostril.Bieber assured fans that his facial paralysis will subside over time, however, and according to a new update shared through his Instagram Story, he appears to be healing up. “Each day has gotten better,” he said, noting that his Christian faith has helped him cope with the illness.He continued: “Through all of the discomfort I have found comfort in the one who designed me and knows me.

I’m reminded he knows all of me. He know[s] the darkest parts of me that I want no one to know about and he constantly welcomes me into his loving arms.

This perspective has given me peace during this horrific storm that I’m facing. I know this storm will pass but in the meantime JESUS IS WITH ME.”As a result of his condition, Bieber was forced to postpone the opening stretch of his North American ‘Justice’ tour.
