(BBC) Singer Justin Bieber has said his faith in Jesus has helped him deal with a recent spate of medical problems.
The star revealed over the weekend that he is suffering from facial paralysis. The announcement followed the postponement of three of his shows.
“I know this storm will pass but in the meantime I know Jesus is with me,” Bieber wrote on Instagram.
The 28-year-old said on Saturday that the condition is due to a diagnosis of Ramsay Hunt syndrome.
The illness occurs when a shingles outbreak affects the facial nerve near someone’s ears.
Symptoms can include a painful rash inside the ear canal and outside the ear, at times attacking the tongue and roof of the mouth, as well as vertigo and tinnitus.
