Justin Bieber announces his retirement as a singer

In an announcement that no doubt caused rivers of teenage girls’ tears across the world, 19-year-old Justin Bieber revealed he is taking a step back from the music industry when his new album, Journals, is released next week, and it could be permanent.

Reports say Justin had told radio station Power 106 in Los Angeles, California, on Tuesday:

‘After the new album, I’m actually retiring man. I’m retiring.’

When the radio hosts reacted in shock/surprised, Justin backtracked slightly suggesting he has not quite made up his mind:

I want to grow as an artist and I’m taking a step out, I want my music to mature.

TMZ, however, says a source confirmed to them that the 19-year-old was just joking and has no plans to permanently hang up his microphone.

Justin’s talk of retirement is coming a day before his documentary Believe is premiered in Los Angeles.
