BOSTON — In light of Justin Bieber’s ongoing recovery, the remaining U.S. Justice Tour shows scheduled for June and early July, including his performance at TD Garden and Mohegan Sun Arena, have been postponed.
Bieber announced Friday that he is taking a break from performing because he is suffering from paralysis on one side of his face.
In a video posted on his verified Instagram account, the singer explained that he has Ramsay Hunt syndrome, which has left him unable to move half of his face and unable to take the stage.
“It is from this virus that attacks the nerve in my ear and my facial nerves and has caused my face to have paralysis,” he said in the video. “As you can see this eye is not blinking. I can’t smile on this side of my face; this nostril will not move. So there’s full paralysis on this side of my face.”
Bieber addressed those who have been frustrated by the recent cancellations of his concerts and said he’s “physically, obviously, not capable of doing them.”
Bieber’s show at the TD Garden was originally scheduled for July 8, 2021, and has been rescheduled to June 20, 2022. For additional information about this rescheduled event, click HERE.
His show at Mohegan Sun Arena was originally scheduled for June 18 is postponed for a later date that will be determined.
“Justin continues to receive the best medical care possible, is upbeat about his recovery, and is looking forward to getting back out on the road and performing for his fans overseas later this summer,” Justin Bieber’s promoter said in a statement.
Refunds will be available at the point of purchase and tickets will be honored for all rescheduled dates.
