Back on June 10, the "Ghost" singer took to Instagram to explain that he had to cancel several tour dates because of Ramsay Hunt syndrome, which left half of his face paralyzed. The illness is caused by the chickenpox virus, which continues to lay dormant in a person after initial infection and can reactivate as a shingles rash, according to the Mayo Clinic.

The Justice tour's official Instagram has since announced Bieber will reschedule the missed North American dates. An announcement on that is coming "very soon," the post assured.
