However, show promoters have said that Bieber's Singapore show on October 25 at the National Stadium will go on as planned
Justin Bieber is once again taking a break from touring. The pop star announced that he will be cancelling a significant portion of his Justice world tour as a result of a shingles complication called Ramsay Hunt Syndrome.
This comes shortly after the singer announced that he would be pushing back the North American leg of his Justice tour due to the rare syndrome that caused him partial facial paralysis.

Ramsay Hunt Syndrome is a neurological disorder that can inflame and paralyse the facial nerve. It can also cause painful rashes around the mouth and ears and even hearing loss.
Following his diagnosis, Bieber took some time to recover before returning to the road to perform six live shows in Europe as well as the Rock in Rio festival in Brazil last weekend.
Unfortunately, it looks like the Canadian singer will need more time to recover as he said in an Instagram post this week.
“This past weekend I performed at Rock in Rio and I gave everything I have to the people in Brazil. After getting off stage, the exhaustion overtook me and I realised that I need to make my health the priority right now,” Bieber said.
“So I’m going to take a break from touring for the time being,” he continued.
“I’m going to be okay, but I need time to rest and get better. I’ve been so proud to bring this show and our message of justice to the world.”
It looks like Bieber could still be on track for the Asian leg of his tour and his scheduled performance in Singapore on October 25 at the National Stadium will carry on as planned.
Show promoters AEG and Unusual said in a statement: “We are aware that 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. Our understanding is the Asia leg of the tour is set to continue as scheduled. Stay tuned for more updates.”
