In an Instagram video last week, Bieber shared with his fans that the right side of his face has been paralyzed due to the virus. 

"For those who are frustrated by my cancellations of the next shows, I'm just physically, obviously, not capable of doing them," he said. "This is pretty serious as you can see. I wish this wasn't the case, but obviously my body is telling me that I've got to slow down.
