Justin Bieber is “doing great” a month after his Ramsay Hunt syndrome diagnosis, according to Usher.
“As an artist, I think we’re all going to experience things that people might not necessarily understand,” 43-year-old “Love in This Club” singer told Extra about his 28-year-old mentee on Sunday.
“I think [Justin] has clearly taken the world on a journey,” continued the Texas resident. “I’m glad I was at the beginning and I’m still a part of it, as a friend.”
Usher noted that he recently saw Bieber on a vacation and that the duo “managed to hang out.”
The former “Voice” coach added: “I think whatever he is going through right now, it’s really great to see that he has the support of his fans and his family.”
Bieber revealed his health anxiety last month, documenting his facial paralysis in an Instagram video.
“As you can see, this eye is not blinking,” the songwriter told his followers in June. “I can’t smile on this side of my face. This nostril won’t move, so there’s complete paralysis on this side of my face.
“For those frustrated with my cancellations of the following shows, I’m clearly physically unable to do them,” Bieber continued at the time. “This is pretty serious, as you can see.”
Later that same week, Hailey Bieber said her husband “got better every day” during a “Good Morning America” performance.
“It was clear it was just a really scary and random situation,” explains the 25-year-old model. “He’ll be all right, and I’m just thankful he’s all right.”
She and Justin have since been spotted on multiple outings, from going to church together in June to making love during a trip to Idaho earlier this month.
The Grammy winner has postponed multiple shows while battling the rare condition. He is currently about to kick off the first of his international shows in Lucca, Italy, on July 31.
