Justin Bieber is back and is hoping to put his health setback firmly behind him after announcing his return to his Justice World Tour.

The singer suffered from an acute bout of Ramsay Hunt Syndrome last month which resulted in facial paralysis.  As a result, the pop star was forced to halt his tour, which included a stop in South Africa.

USHER OFFERS JUSTIN BIEBER HEALTH UPDATE

This week, Justin Bieber’s close pal and mentor Usher offered a health update on the singer. “He is doing great one month after the diagnosis,” Usher told entertainment outlet Extra.

He continued: “As an artist, I think we are all going to experience some things that people may not necessarily understand. I think he has obviously taken the world on a journey. And that journey, I am happy that I was at the beginning of, and I am still a part of to this day, as a friend. I think that whatever he may be experiencing right now, it’s actually great to see that he has the support from his fans and his family.”

It’s unclear yet if the star has had any lasting effects from RHS or his facial paralysis.

RHS can be treated with either steroids or anti-viral medication. According to medical experts, individuals who begin treatment within three days have about a 70% chance of full recovery. The chances of recovery drastically drop if symptoms are left untreated.
