During one of her famous \u201cNonsense\u201d outros at the event, the Grammy winner quipped, \u201cCoachella, see you back here when I headline\u201d \u2014 and now that manifestation has come true.<\/p>\n Coachella<\/span><\/p>\n Bieber, meanwhile, has never actually been an official performer at Coachella, although he has appeared as a surprise guest<\/a> during other artists\u2019 sets multiple times. His addition comes as a huge delight to Beliebers, who have seen very few live performances from him since he canceled the remainder<\/a> of his Justice World Tour in 2022 as he dealt with health struggles.<\/p>\n In June of that year, the \u201cBaby\u201d singer was diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt syndrome, which left half his face paralyzed, following a yearslong battle with Lyme disease.<\/p>\n \u201cThis is pretty serious as you can see,\u201d he told fans in an Instagram video at the time, showing how his ability to move other parts of his face was impacted. \u201cI wish this wasn\u2019t the case. But obviously my body is telling me I need to slow down.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/span><\/div>\n
