Watch as Justin and Hailey treat their followers to a song:The singer was, however, trolled after making the announcement. "I see a lot of people on here just creating lies and saying that they hope I lose in everything I do. Well I hope you all win. I hope everything you want in life happens for you. Regardless of how you feel about me I send back love," he wrote on Twitter in response.
And as it transpires, his wife, Hailey, has also had to wade in. The model clapped back at haters on Twitter, writing "I see a lot of people on here just creating lies and saying that they hope I lose in everything I do. Well I hope you all win. I hope everything you want in life happens for you. Regardless of how you feel about me I send back love."
"For those who are trying to downplay the severity of Lyme disease. Please do your research and listen to the stories of people who have suffered with it for years. Making fun of and belittling a disease you don't understand is never the way, all it takes is educating yourself," she continued.
