Justin Bieber is retiring after all. Possibly
By Chris Cooke | Published on Thursday 26 December 2013
So Justin Bieber is retiring after all. Or is he? Well, he’s going on a break. Possibly.
Though he did seemingly begin his retirement by retweeting a flood of big-ups for his latest behind-the-scenes movie ‘Believe’ before posting some impromptu performances on Instagram for his fans, which isn’t that different to the kind of things a pre-retirement Bieber might have done on a Christmas day.
But yes, after announcing – and then immediately retracting – his retirement on an LA radio show earlier this month, just before Christmas Day began Bieber took to Twitter to announce “my beloved beliebers I’m officially retiring”. Though in amongst dissing the media and praising God, he did then note: “They make a up a lot of lies and want me to fail but I’m never leaving you”. So make of that what you will.
Following the LA radio interview – which was initially released without the “I’m just messing around” punchline – Bieber’s manager Scooter Braun told reporters that the pop star would be taking a proper break in 2014, but that he would return. Perhaps with a new record. Or at least a new perfume. And I should think so too.
