AEG Presents, the tour’s promoter, did not immediately respond to a request for comment from PEOPLE.
The caption of the post read, “With a heavy heart, it saddens us to make this announcement about the #justicetour. We are sending you lots of love and prayers for a speedy recovery🤍 we are always here cheering you on @justinbieber.”
According to the announcement, details on the revised U.S. dates will be released soon.
On June 10, Bieber, 28, revealed his diagnosis for the first time. Ramsay Hunt syndrome can induce hearing loss in addition to facial paralysis, and it requires immediate treatment to prevent it from becoming permanent.
“Hey everyone. Justin here. I wanted to update you guys on what’s been going on. Obviously, as you can probably see from my face, I have this syndrome called Ramsay Hunt syndrome, and it is from this virus that attacks the nerve in my ear and my facial nerves and has caused my face to have paralysis,” he began.

“As you can see, this eye is not blinking,” he continued before he winked his other eye. “I can’t smile with this side of my face, this nostril will not move, so there is full paralysis in this side of my face.”
He then spoke to his followers, who were “frustrated” that his next performances had been postponed.
“I’m just physically, obviously not capable of doing them,” he explained. “This is pretty serious as you can see. I wish this wasn’t the case but obviously, my body is telling me I got to slow down and I hope you guys understand and I’ll be using this time to rest and relax and get back to 100% so that I can do what I was born to do.”

“But in the meantime,” he added as he tried to smile. “This isn’t it. I got to get my rest on so that I can get my face back to where it’s supposed to be.”
He thanked fans for their support and promised that he would do everything he could to “get better.”
Bieber’s video was released shortly after his 25-year-old wife Hailey Bieber was admitted to the hospital after suffering a mini-stroke.
