“As you can see, this eye is not blinking. I can’t smile on this side of my face; this nostril is not moving. So there is total paralysis on this side of my face.”
Bieber told fans that the condition has made him “physically, obviously, unable” to act.
“That’s pretty serious, as you can see. I wish it wasn’t like that, but obviously my body tells me I have to slow down,” he said.
“I hope you understand. I will take this time to rest and relax and go back 100% to be able to do what I was born to do.”
He revealed that he is working on facial exercises to regain his health.
