After much speculation, singer Justin Bieber announced on Tuesday (6/9) the cancellation of the presentations he would make in São Paulo and other Latin American countries. Columnist for metropolisesLeo Dias had anticipated the information last Friday (2/9).

In his personal profile, Bieber claimed the decision was made after he was hit with deep exhaustion when he left the Rock in Rio stage, where he performed on Sunday (4/9). The Canadian said he had to prioritize his physical and mental health, which is why he canceled the shows.

In the statement, the artist cited Ramsay Hunt Syndrome, which left him with a paralyzed face in July this year and also led him to suspend concerts in North America. The disease is caused by the herpes zoster virus and manifests itself at times when the immune system is weakened – as, for example, in situations of exhaustion and stress.

The Canadian also spoke publicly about depression in Justin Bieber: Next Chapter, a documentary about his life. “There were times when I was very suicidal. Like, man, will this pain ever go away? It was very consistent. »

At the time, the star advocated for people to seek help to take care of their mental health. “If you feel lonely, talk about it. Say it out loud. There is a certain freedom in doing so. I could have avoided a lot of pain.
