While Justin wasn’t on the lineup this year, fans are hoping he’ll make a special guest appearance with one of his many collaborators performing, including The Kid Laroi (Saturday), Dominic Fike (Sunday), and Burna Boy (next Friday) . .)

Last year at Coachella, while Bieber was experiencing paralysis in part of his face, he joined Daniel Caesar to perform their hit single Peaches.

Through Sunday, other musicians such as Blink 182, Frank Ocean, Charlie XCX, Blackpink, The Chemical Brothers and Calvin Harris will take the stage.

Also spotted at the festival for the weekend of music were stars like Kourtney Kardashian, Kendall Jenner and Joy Corrigan.

The Sorry hitmaker announced in June 2022 that he had been diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt syndrome, a rare version of shingles that can cause hearing loss and facial paralysis.

Bieber had postponed his tour last year, hoping to hit the road again in 2023, though he announced earlier this month that the rest of the shows had been cancelled.

DailyMail.com learned that the singer’s doctors “forced” him to cancel the show while his wife Hailey and his family were concerned about his health.

Recently, the star has made progress in beating his facial paralysis as he was able to show off his radiant smile.

Bieber hasn’t shared any further updates on his health, though he’s certainly come a long way since first revealing his diagnosis last June.

He shared a video explaining that he had been diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt Syndrome, which according to the Mayo clinicwhen “an outbreak of shingles affects the facial nerve near one of your ears.”

The syndrome causes facial paralysis and hearing loss, which is temporary in most cases but can be permanent if not treated quickly.

“Of course as you can probably tell from my face. I have this syndrome called Ramsay Hunt syndrome and it’s from this virus that attacks the nerves in my ear and my facial nerves and has paralyzed my face,” Bieber explains in the June 2022 video.

Justin update later posted a sad update to his Instagram story, saying, “It’s getting harder and harder to eat which has been extremely frustrating, please pray for me,” with a tearful emoji.

‘I can’t believe I’m saying this. I’ve done everything I can to get better, but my illness is getting worse,” he wrote in an Instagram story post.

My heart breaks that I will have to postpone the next few shows (on doctor’s orders). To all my people, I love you so much and I’m going to rest and get well.’

He posted another clip of the singer showing off the devastating effects of his diagnosis, showing that his eye wouldn’t blink, couldn’t smile, and couldn’t move his nostril all the way up the right side of his face.

He explained, “So there is complete paralysis on this side of my face. So for those frustrated with my cancellations of the following shows, I’m just clearly physically unable to do them. This is pretty serious, as you can see.’

Last month, sources close to the singer told DailyMail.com that his team of doctors “forced” him to cancel the tour.

According to the source, “He feels terrible about it. He is aware that this affects so many people who really affect him and he is committed to making sure everything is okay.”

And it’s not just Justin’s doctors who have expressed concern; his wife Hailey, 26, family and friends are all “concerned” about his declining health, the insider added.

“For years, Justin felt he was invincible and nothing could hurt him. But after getting sick with Ramsay Hunt, it became so clear to him that he isn’t,” the source told me.
