Justin Bieber has cancelled his Justice World Tour because of health struggles related to his diagnosis of Ramsay-Hunt Syndrome earlier this year.
In a statement posted to his Instagram story, Bieber says he was overcome with exhaustion after performing this weekend in Brazil, and he realized that he needs to make his health a priority right now.
The singer says he is going to take a break from touring for the time being as he needs time to rest and get better.
It is not clear how long the break will last or if the shows are cancelled for good.
The Justice World Tour was supposed to start in 2021, but was delayed until this year because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Bieber had to postpone a show in Las Vegas in February after testing positive for the virus.
In June, amid the tour’s North American leg, Bieber revealed he had been diagnosed with Ramsay-Hunt Syndrome, a rare reaction to a virus which caused partial paralysis on one side of his face.
He initially cancelled just a few dates of the tour, but shortly expanded that to the rest of the shows on the continent to focus on his health.
Bieber resumed touring in July.
The former child star has been open about his other health struggles, including past issues with drugs, mental health battles, and a diagnosis of Lyme disease, which he chronicled in his 2020 docuseries Justin Bieber: Seasons.
