Justin Bieber has postponed his world tour amid ongoing health concerns, but there’s still hope for Australian fans. An update from Frontier Touring tonight says “Our understanding is the Australian and New Zealand leg of the tour is set to continue as scheduled”. The pop star made the announcement this morning via a story on his Instagram citing his battle with Ramsay-Hunt Syndrome as the reason behind his decision.
“…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 wrote.
In Frontier Touring’s statement, they also said “We are aware Justin Bieber has decided to take a break from touring and wish Justin a speedy recovery and admire his decision to put his health first. We can’t wait to see him back on the road.”
Earlier this year, the 28-year-old opened up to fans about his diagnosis of the rare disease which left his face partially paralysed and ultimately forced him to cancel the North American leg of his ‘Justice’ tour earlier this year.
The virus affects nerves in the face and ears and is part of the same family as the Chickenpox virus.
Beiber was scheduled to play in Australia in November to sell-out crowds in Sydney and Brisbane and it is unclear if he will reschedule these dates, however we’re keeping our fingers crossed that they go ahead if his health improves. Concerts in Europe, South America, Africa and the Middle East look to be postponed.
“I have 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!” he finished in his post.
