Justin Bieber: ‘I’m Officially Retiring’

 
Justin Bieber is NOT backing off his promise to “retire” after his album drops … and last night, he proved he means business by reinforcing his retirement plans ON TWITTER!

The 19-year old broke the news on Christmas Eve, when he tweeted to his 48 million followers: “My beloved beliebers, I’m officially retiring” The statement was retweeted nearly a quarter of a million times.

That initial tweet was followed by: “I’m never leaving you, being a belieber is a lifestyle,” and “I’M HERE FOREVER.”

Is he for real?

Well, the tweet did follow a another public comment about retirement.

Last week, he told Los Angeles radio station Power 106, “After the new album, I’m actually, I’m retiring man, I’m retiring.” However, sources told TMZ the singer was joking.

Whether a ploy to boost album sales or a real deal retirement announcement, the Biebs certainly has tongues wagging.
