Rave of the moment singer and the girls man Justin Beiber 19, 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.
'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.
