Justin Bieber To Retire At 19 After Good Innings?

• 18th Dec 2013

Fresh-faced celebrity meltdown victim and pop superstar Justin Bieber has announced his retirement from music on a Los Angeles radio station.

The 19-year-old Canadian pop star answered a question about his future with the statement: “Um, I’m actually retiring man”.

The station, Power 106 FM, then tweeted further quotes via their account from the star, with one reading: “I want to grow as an artist and I’m taking a step out, I want my music to mature”.

Whether Bieber was joking in the interview remains unknown, but a video clip posted by the station this morning seems to shows him speaking with a straight face. His UK representatives were unavailable for comment and the singer has yet to confirm the news on his Twitter account.

“I’m 19, I’m gonna make mistakes, it’s inevitable,” he said, referring to the string of recent controversies connected to him.
