Justin Bieber has "busted" his eardrum while cliff diving, and doctors said that he might need surgery.

The 20-year-old Canadian pop star shared the bad news with his 151,000 followers on Twitter Wednesday, Sept. 24.

"Busted my ear drum cliff diving. Doc says might need surgery now. Sucks," tweeted the "As Long As You Love Me" singer.

"My ear drum might back us up a little but I'm still bringing you this new music," Selena Gomez's on-again, off-again boyfriend wrote in a follow-up post. "Much love. Damn u cliff diving!"

The injury might stem from the singer's cliff diving adventures in July, according to MTV News. Bieber previously posted a video of him diving off a cliff on Instagram in the same month. TMZ made a copy of the now deleted clip, which is viewable here.

Bieber has been working on new music with Australian singer Cody Simpson. The 17-year-old told the Sydney Courier-Mail that the record will be out by November. But could Bieber's injury cause a delay in the release of the new music? Hopefully not.

"Justin ruptured the tympanic membrane, or eardrum, on impact or while descending into the water. The surgery for that condition, if it is what he has, is a tympanoplasty, where a piece of tissue is used to simply seal the hole in the tympanic membrane," Dr. Barry M. Rose M.D., the Anesthesiologist at California Pacific Medical Center in San Francisco, California told Hollywood Life.

Though the procedure sounds uncomplicated, tympanoplasty, like any other surgery, should not be taken lightly.

"As surgeries go, it is 'superficial' in nature, but as we have seen recently [with the death of Joan Rivers], no procedure can be taken lightly. Having said that, this is outpatient surgery that 99.9+% of the time goes easily and smoothly, and has no long term effects except sealing the hole in the eardrum," added Dr. Rose.
