Bieber alerted fans last week of his health scare and shared a video of how Ramsay Hunt syndrome has affected his ability to move the muscles on his face.

\"This eye is not blinking. I can't smile on this side of my face. This nostril will not move. So there's full paralysis on this side of my face,\" he revealed.

Bieber said he understood fans would be \"frustrated\" to hear he had to call off some tour stops. \"I'm just physically not capable of doing them. This is pretty serious,\" he said.

Wife Hailey Bieber updated fans on her husband's recovery on Wednesday, telling \"Good Morning America,\" \"He's getting better every single day... He's going to be totally OK.\"

Ramsay Hunt syndrome is a rare neurological complication caused by the chickenpox virus, which can reactivate as shingles later in life as it stays dormant after initial infection, according to The Mayo Clinic.
