Justin Bieber officially marked his return to the stage over a year after his last public appearances amid his Ramsay Hunt syndrome.
The "Ghost" singer had to postpone the shows of his Justice World Tour after learning about his health problem. Still, he had only managed to perform twice, with his latest stage appearance happening at the NHL All-Star Player Draft after over a year.
Justin Bieber Returns to the Stage
On Thursday, February 1, Justin dominated the stage of Tim Horton's NHL All-Star Player Draft at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, Ontario, where he performed some of his greatest hits.
His wife, Hailey Justin, shared videos of the live telecast on Instagram to present "JB eras performance."
Justin's setlist included the tracks "Eenie Meenie," "Baby," "Ghost," "Hold On" and "Peaches." He also surprised everyone with his own version of SZA's "Snooze."
His return came after he announced his health battle and the postponement of his tour to "rest and get better."
"Earlier this year, I went public about my battle with Ramsay Hunt syndrome, where my face was partly paralyzed. As the result of this illness, I was not able to complete the North America leg of the Justice Tour," he said, adding, "After getting off stage, the exhaustion overtook me. I realized that I need to make my health the priority right now."
Bieber also showed fans he was getting better by joining The Kid LAROI at the opening of OBB Media's new studio lot, OBB Studios, and performing with Don Toliver at the Rolling Loud festival.
What Happened to Justin Bieber?
Justin broke his silence in a YouTube video and discussed his viral condition caused by varicella-zoster. Ramsay Hunt syndrome refers to a condition when a person contracts a virus that attacks facial nerves.
According to the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, it can cause hearing loss, vertigo and facial droop.
USC Keck School of Medicine's Dr. John Oghalai - who treats patients like Justin - explained to Rolling Stone that Justin's partial facial paralysis was a good sign that he would have a speedy recovery.
"Some people, it takes weeks. Some people, it takes months," Dr. Michael Ison, a professor of infectious diseases at Northwestern Feinberg School of Medicine, disclosed.
Despite his health battle, Justin got the best love and support from his wife.
