Ramsay Hunt syndrome 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.

Justin's wife, Hailey Bieber, and his mentor Usher have both spoken out about his recovery, assuring fans that he is doing well.
