Justin Bieber has cancelled all of the remaining dates of his Justice world tour, following health issues.<\/p>\n

The 29-year-old singer had postponed the tour several times, telling fans last summer that he was\u00a0suffering from facial paralysis, after a diagnosis of Ramsay Hunt syndrome (RHS).<\/p>\n

He said in September 2022\u00a0that he wanted to make his \u201chealth a priority\u201d.<\/p>\n

The tour\u2019s official Twitter page posted on Tuesday that ticket holders would automatically receive a refund.<\/p>\n

The Canadian had been due to play shows in the US, Australia and Europe\/UK, including a Manchester date originally planned in for this Saturday (4 March).<\/p>\n

However some of his fans have previously expressed their dismay about not receiving refunds for postponed dates on the now-scrapped tour, which has reportedly grossed $55m (\u00a346m).<\/p>\n

No official reason has been given as-yet for the cancellations.<\/p>\n

Fan reaction<\/h2>\n

Cade Harper, 23 from Aberdeen, who got tickets in November 2021 as a Christmas gift from a family member, told BBC News: \u201cI\u2019m sad he has cancelled but his health comes first and I totally understand.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just wish he didn\u2019t say it was only postponed. This would have been my second time seeing him as I have already seen him in Glasgow for the Purpose tour so I was looking forward to seeing him in my home town in Aberdeen.\u201d<\/p>\n

Chrystabel Mangwendeza, 24, in Birmingham, told us she was \u201cupset\u201d and \u201cangry\u201d, but also \u201csad\u201d that she now won\u2019t get to see Bieber, despite forking out around \u00a3140 on tickets.<\/p>\n

She added on Wednesday evening that she had not yet received an email from Ticketmaster and had found out about the gig cancellations by reading about it online.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve waited so long for a tour in the first place,\u201d she noted. \u201cAnd it wasn\u2019t even him who made the announcement.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel like he didn\u2019t even have the decency to tell fans himself.\u201d<\/p>\n

BBC News has asked Bieber\u2019s representatives for comment.<\/p>\n

The Grammy-winning performer, who\u00a0attended last month\u2019s London Fashion Week, took a total break from music in 2019 to focus on his mental health.<\/p>\n

His latest latest album, featuring the likes of Burna Boy, Chance the Rapper and Khalid, reached number one in the US and number two in the UK chart in early 2021.<\/p>\n

But he said that subsequent shows in Europe had \u201ctaken a real toll on me\u201d and that he needed more time to \u201crest and get better\u201d.<\/p>\n

What is Ramsay Hunt syndrome?<\/h2>\n

RHS is when a shingles outbreak affects the facial nerve near someone\u2019s ears, resulting in paralysis of parts of the face.<\/p>\n

It cannot be passed from one person to another, but it is a complication from shingles, which is linked to the chickenpox virus that many people can get when they\u2019re children.<\/p>\n

According to the charity\u00a0Facial Palsy UK, if the immune system becomes depressed and is less able to fight off infection, the body can become vulnerable to a reactivation of the chickenpox virus.<\/p>\n

It says stress is often a trigger as it can weaken the immune system, and people who are stressed are more likely to suffer from infections.<\/p>\n
