On Monday, Usher revealed how singer Justin Bieber has been doing.
Last month, the "Yummy" singer had been diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt Syndrome and posted a video showing how one side of his face was experiencing facial paralysis, prompting him to call off the U.S. portion of his worldwide Justice tour.
Justin was spotted out and about with his wife, Hailey Bieber, over the last few weeks, prompting many fans to ask how Justin has been doing, especially with the international leg of his tour scheduled to start later this month. Fortunately, it seems Usher has an answer.

Fans were shocked that both members of the Bieber family are experiencing such rare and serious illnesses at such a young age. Fortunately, Hailey found the “silver lining” in their health struggles.
“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.”
She said that it has also helped her relationship with Justin, saying, “being there for each other and supporting each other and there’s just something that really bonds you through these times.”
