To focus on his health, Justin Bieber has postponed the remaining dates of his Justice World Tour. Arond 70 songs will be affected.
The Canadian pop musician revealed in June that he would be canceling a series of performances and appearances due to his diagnosis of Ramsay Hunt syndrome and the paralysis of half of his face. The next month, Justin announced he would resume the tour with a concert in Lucca, Italy on July 31 before continuing with the remaining scheduled performances.
Nevertheless, the Sorry hitmaker admitted in a statement to TMZ on Tuesday that previous performances had taken a "serious toll" on his physical condition.
"Earlier this year, I went public about my battle with Ramsay Hunt Syndrome, where my face was partly paralyzed," he began. "As the result of this illness, I was not able to complete the North America leg of the Justice Tour. After resting end consulting with doctors, family and team, I went to Europe in an effort to continue with the tour. I performed six live shows, but it took a real toll on me."

"I'm going to be OK, but I need time to rest and get better period I've been so proud to bring this show and our message of justice to the world. Thank you for your prayers and support throughout all of this! I love you all passionately!" The announcement of Justin affects seventy upcoming gigs.
