He paralyzed his face and nerves.. Justin Bier reveals his serious illness (video)

Canadian singer Justin Bieber has revealed that he is battling a dangerous virus that has paralyzed the right side of his face and will need to spend some time working on getting better.

The singer posted a video on Friday explaining to fans why several shows had been postponed over the past week, explaining that he had been diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt Syndrome, which affected a nerve in his ear, causing him to become paralyzed.

Ramsay Hunt syndrome is a disease that paralyzes the face and nerves.

As shown in the video, Justin can't blink in one eye, and can only smile on one side of his mouth.

While Pierre apologizes to fans for canceling recent shows, he says the whole thing is "very dangerous" and that he'll need to take an indefinite amount of time to work on his recovery.

He said he's been doing facial exercises, and that with work, everything will be back to normal - it's not clear how long that will take.
