Justin Bieber‘s Justice World Tour has been postponed once again.
The tour’s official Instagram confirmed on Thursday that all remaining dates of the tour are officially postponed through 2023. The tour was scheduled to pick up in early December 2022, with a March 2023 end date in Poland.
News of the latest postponement comes less than a month after Bieber announced that he was “taking a break” from touring to focus on his health following his Ramsay-Hunt syndrome diagnosis, which left his face partially paralyzed. At the time, he canceled 12 dates running through Oct. 18.
“Earlier this year, I went public about my battle with Ramsay Hunt syndrome, where my face was partly paralyzed,” he wrote in a statement. “As the result of this illness, I was not able to complete the North America leg of the Justice Tour.”
After resting and consulting with his doctors, family members, and his team, Bieber returned to the road in July, performing six different shows — but touring quickly proved to be too much for the star’s mental and physical health to handle.
“It took a real toll on me,” he continued. “This past weekend, I performed at Rock in Rio and I gave everything I have to the people in Brazil. After getting off stage, the exhaustion overtook me and I realized that I need to make my health the priority right now. So I’m going to take a break from touring for the time being.”
He added, “I’m going to be OK, but I need time to rest and get better.”
“I’ve been so proud to bring this show and our message of Justice to the world,” he concluded. “Thank you for your prayers and support throughout all of this! I love you all passionately!”
Bieberwas diagnosed with the rare virus— whichaffects nerves in the faceand ear and can cause facial paralysis — in June while in the middle of the North American leg of histour. Hepostponed the remainderof those shows to recover, announcing his plans in an emotional video to his fans.
In the video, he explained that the entire right side of his face was unable to move, and he could only smile and blink on the left side. “Obviously, my body’s telling me I gotta slow down,” he said at the time.
When Bieber initially returned to the stage on July 31 at Lucca Summer Festival in Italy, he commemorated the occasion by sharing several photos from the show on his Instagram. “Luv u guys and I missed you,”the caption read.
