Singer Justin Bieber has revealed that he may need surgery after "busting" his eardrum.
The 20-year-old may require an operation to repair the perforated tissue in his ear after he damaged it by leaping off a cliff, known as "tombstoning".
The pop star took to Twitter to share the news on September 24:
Busted my ear drum cliff diving. Doc says might need surgery now. Sucks.
