As Justin blinks one eye, he explains: "As you can see, this eye is not blinking." The singer also showed how only one half of his face can smile, continuing: "I can't smile with this side of my face, this nostril will not move, so there is full paralysis in this side of my face."
Speaking on the cancelled tour dates, Justin explained: "I'm just physically, obviously not capable of doing them. This is pretty serious as you can see. I wish this wasn't the case but obviously, my body is telling me I got to slow down and I hope you guys understand and I'll be using this time to rest and relax and get back to 100% so that I can do what I was born to do.
"But in the meantime, this isn't it. I got to get my rest on so that I can get my face back to where it's supposed to be."
