The singer shared that the illness is a result of a virus in his ear that affected his facial nerves. According to Mount Sinai’s website, the varicella zoster virus that causes chickenpox and shingles is the cause and can manifest in a painful rash around the ear. The Mayo Clinic cites potential hearing loss on the affected side as another potential symptom.

Despite the prognosis, Justin is keeping his spirits up and assured fans that he’s taking all the time he needs to recuperate.

“I’m gonna get better. I’m doing all these facial exercises to get my face back to normal. And it will go back to normal, it’s just time and we don’t know how much time it’s gonna be,” he said.
