Ramsay Hunt syndrome "occurs when a shingles outbreak affects the facial nerve near one of your ears," according to the Mayo Clinic.
The virus can cause facial paralysis and hearing loss.
The "Peaches" singer’s sweet video comes after he canceled his Justice World Tour in September to focus on his health.
Bieber posted the announcement for his fans via Instagram.

"After getting off the stage, the exhaustion overtook me and I realized that I need to make my health the priority right now. So I'm going to take a break from touring for the time being. I'm going to be ok, but I need time to rest and get better," he said in part.
On June 10, 2022, Bieber uploaded a video showing one side of his face paralyzed.

"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.
"I hope you guys understand. I'll just be using this time to rest and relax and get back to 100% so that I can do what I was born to do."
