Christmas miracle as Justin Bieber tweets: I'm retiring

That noise you heard in the middle of the night wasn’t the sound of Santa’s sleigh flying past, it was the collective wail of millions of teenage girls who had read Justin Bieber announce his retirement on Twitter.

The 19-year-old, who previously said his next album would be his last, tweeted to his ‘beloved Beliebers [sic]‘ that he was ‘officially retiring’.

 Two further tweets extolled the true message of Christmas before the singer posted a series of messages promoting his new film, which just happens to be out now.
