PEOPLE – The singer Justin Bieberwho has just canceled two concert dates in Toronto (Canada), announced on his Instagram account this Friday, June 10, that he was suffering from a rare syndrome paralyzing one side of his face, forcing him to cancel the rest of his tour.

“This side of my face is completely paralyzed,” the Canadian continues, revealing that he can only blink with one eye or smile with just one side of his mouth.

“So for those who are frustrated with the cancellation of my upcoming shows, I’m just not physically able to do them. It’s pretty serious as you can see,” adds the 28-year-old singer.

While his Justice World Tour was scheduled to end in New York’s famed Madison Square Garden on Monday and Tuesday, and then continue on multiple dates across the United States before heading to Europe, Justin Bieber gave no indication that his tour would resume.
