Justin Bieber Postpones Final U.S. Tour Dates Amid Facial Paralysis

Singer Justin Bieber has been forced to postpone future concerts on his U.S. tour as he continues to struggle with facial paralysis caused by Ramsay Hunt Syndrome.

Fans have been excited to see Justin Bieber’s U.S. Justice Tour, but unfortunately, the “Peaches” singer has been unable to perform his last few scheduled closed.

On Thursday, Summerfest announced that the two-day Milwaukee festival where Bieber was scheduled to perform next Friday had been canceled. The shows scheduled to happen just before Independence Day on July 2 and July 3 at the Los Angeles Forum have also been indefinitely postponed as well.

Justin Bieber's tour promoter, AEG Presents, released a statement through the official Summerfest Twitter account on Thursday. The message read, "In light of Justin’s ongoing recovery, the remaining US Justice Tour shows scheduled for June and early July, including at Summerfest at the @amfamamp in Milwaukee, WI on Friday, June 24, 2022 will be postponed."

Fortunately, it looks like the "Yummy" singer is making a quick recovery. The statement continued, "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."

Fortunately for international fans, it sounds like Justin is still going to be able to keep his international tour dates. The first stop on his global tour kicks off in Lucca, Italy, on July 31. Dates for Brazil, Argentina, Sweden, and several other countries are still listed on his official site. The tour is currently scheduled to come to a close in Krakau, Poland, on March 25, 2023, if all goes as planned.

Although the shows have been canceled, for now, Justin will return at a later date when he is capable of performing. "Details on the rescheduled Summerfest show will be made public shortly," the statement went on. "Refunds will be available at the point of purchase once the rescheduled date has been determined. Tickets will be honored for all rescheduled dates."

The statement concluded, "Fans who previously purchased tickets for the Justin Bieber concert at Summerfest presented by American Family Insurance on June 24 will receive a digital 2022 Summerfest General Admission ticket valid any day of the festival."

Earlier this week, his wife, Hailey Bieber, gave fans an optimistic update on the health of her husband.

Earlier this week, Hailey told Good Morning America that the “Baby” singer is “getting better every single day.” She said that her husband is “doing really well,” and that he is “feeling a lot better.” She added, “Obviously, it was just a very scary and random situation to happen.”

Hailey also revealed that Justin is expected to make a full recovery. The 25-year-old model said that the Canadian pop star is “going to be totally okay,” and that she’s “just grateful that he’s fine.”

“Every single person has sent well wishes, advice, recommendations,” she went on, calling the outpouring of love, “really amazing.” Hailey is not immune to health scares of her own. Earlier this year, she was rushed to the hospital after experiencing stroke-like symptoms. Fortunately, the Biebers have found the “silver lining” in the medical traumas they've experienced over the past few months.

“Going through it very publicly in front of a lot of people… it kind of almost forces you to be upfront about what’s going on so people understand what you’re going through,” she explained, adding, “I actually think it opened up a lot of important and amazing conversations.”

Hailey added that their struggles have actually strengthened their marriage, adding, “being there for each other and supporting each other and there’s just something that really bonds you through these times.”
