The Justice World Tour is back!

On Tuesday, Justin Bieber announced that he would resume his tour via the tour's official social media channels after postponing multiple shows due to his Ramsay Hunt syndrome diagnosis.

A rep for the Peaches singer confirmed the news to Variety in a statement that Bieber's massive world tour, which has 75 scheduled dates, will resume with a performance at the Lucca Summer Festival in Italy and follow with five dates in Europe into August before heading to South America in September.

The Justice World Tour continues in South Africa on 28 September in Cape Town and 1 October in Joburg before heading to the Middle East, Asia, Australia and New Zealand. Bieber will return to Europe for the remainder of the tour from January through March.

Bieber announced that he was pausing his Justice World Tour due to illness hours before his first slated concert in Toronto in June.

In a revealing video, the 28-year-old shared that he had been diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt Syndrome, causing him partial facial paralysis. "As you can see, this eye is not blinking. I can't smile on this side of my face. This nostril will not move," Bieber explained at the time.

Ramsay Hunt Syndrome is a complication of shingles that occurs when an outbreak impacts the facial nerve near one ear. In addition to facial paralysis, it can cause hearing loss.
