Usher says Justin Bieber is now “doing great” following his recent period of ill health after being diagnosed with ‘Ramsay Hunt Syndrome’.On June 11, Bieber posted a video explaining that he was recently diagnosed with the rare condition, which, according to the Mayo Clinic, “occurs when a shingles outbreak affects the facial nerve near one of your ears”.
In his video, the pop star could be seen struggling to blink, smile or move his right nostril.As a result of the condition, he was forced to postpone the opening stretch of his North American ‘Justice’ tour.
He’d broken that news prior to revealing his facial paralysis, citing an unspecified “sickness” at the time.Bieber assured fans that his facial paralysis would subside over time and he later posted an update to share news that his condition was slowly improving.Now, in a new interview with Extra, musician Usher revealed that he had spent time with him on holiday recently and said that the musician was “doing great” and on the road to recovery.“As an artist, I think we are all going to experience some things that people may not necessarily understand, and a life that comes with a great deal of pressure,” Usher explained. “I think he has obviously taken the world on a journey.
