Justin Bieber has been battling a serious virus, one that has left the right side of his face paralyzed ... and he'll need to take some time off to work on getting better.

The singer posted a video Friday explaining to fans why he's had to postpone several shows over the last week, explaining he's been diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt Syndrome. Bieber says it's affected a nerve in his ear, causing the paralysis.

As visible in the video, Justin is unable to blink with one of his eyes, and can only smile with one side of his mouth.

While JB apologizes to fans for having to have missed the recent shows, he says the whole thing is "pretty serious" and that he'll need to take an undetermined amount of time off to work on getting healthy.

He says he's been doing facial exercises, and that with work, everything will get back to normal -- it's just not clear how long that'll take

too many drugs? Poor Biebs...can't catch a break

[Seruzawa]

Well, that sucks. I won’t make a snarky comment, tempting as it is. Hope he recovers.

Clot shot?

[jimwatx]

That was my first thought.

[RummyChick]

He has had COVID

[billorites]

Maybe he isn't getting enough donuts.

Looks like Justin didn’t get the fake clot shot like all the other hoi poloi did….

[Perseverando]

He has had COVID

So have a lot of people who've had the clot shot.

Bell’s Palsy?

I had this. Work up one day and the right side of my face didn’t work - wondered if I’d had a stroke.

Went away over a couple of weeks - although for some it never does.

There are apparently 3 types under the same name. Hopefully he has type 2, which is the one caused by the herpes zoster.

I just had Shingles about 3 months ago. My little finger and ring finger on my left hand are still numb

[Jamestown1630]

Bell’s is sometimes the result of surgery/anesthesia. I had a friend who had it after surgery; it went away in a short while.

Not a Ukraine reference for those of you in Rio Linda

"...work on getting healthy."

Probably wanna write that one down.

Had you been vaccinated against shingles?

I don’t know if I’ve ever had chicken pox or not; but when I was curious about the shingles vaccine, my doc said to wait because a new vaccine was coming out and he wanted to see how it went. He never mentioned it again.
