14 DAY TRIAL // Adrenaline junkie Justin Bieber has seen a setback in his singing career as a failed cliff dive into the ocean has left him with what doctors suspect is a ruptured ear drum. At the moment, the extent of the damage to his ear is unknown, but the Canadian crooner has told his fans to expect delays in upcoming releases.
Justin Bieber was not a first-time jumper, since he had been photographed several times before jumping off cliffs, and not just in America either. There is actually a craze going on right now, which is called tombstoning, but it seems that Bieber fell victim to it.
The singer confirms on Twitter he injured his ear while cliff diving
After the accident, Justin took to Twitter to complain and explain to fans what happened, "Busted my ear drum cliff diving. Doc says might need surgery now."
As messages of heartfelt concern and well-wishing began to pour, the doctors took a closer look at Justin's ear and gave a verdict. The pop star shared it with his fans in a second tweet, "My ear drum might back us up a little but I'm still bringing you this new music. Much love. Damn u cliff diving!"
Justin was taking part in a new craze called "tombstoning"
The 20-year-old singer made it sound like he was going to stick out despite his injuries and sacrifice himself for his fans. Turns out that Justin's antics might have finally caught up with him. The tombstoning craze is believed to have injured countless teens and even killed several in the past year, Justin being just the latest victim.
For a musician, a person who makes his living off his voice and hearing, a busted ear drum is no joke. Depending on the gravity of the injury, Bieber might find himself with impaired hearing in the affected ear forever, or even a loss of hearing if the doctors can't patch up the ear drum.
Since the story is still developing, there is no further information at this point, but you can be sure that if Justin is going to sustain long-term damage to his hearing, it's going to make the news. For now, the singer is left to recuperate while fans send out their prayers for his speedy recovery.
Bieber had made news headlines recently with his reconciliation to Selena Gomez. Reports indicated that couple was getting serious, talking about moving in together and even having a baby.
Justin allegedly made solemn promises to Selena that he was going to have an exclusive relationship with her and quit flirting with models, something that's been his passion in the past.
