When you're a world famous pop star who's been battling major image issues, 19 is the perfect age to retire. At least, according to Justin Bieber.

After telling a Los Angeles radio station last week that his next album would be his last, the Biebs took to Twitter on Christmas Eve to tell his 47,965,421 followers:

My beloved beliebers I'm officially retiring

— Justin Bieber (@justinbieber) December 25, 2013

He continued, "The media talks a lot about me. They make a up a lot of lies and want me to fail but I'm never leaving you, being a belieber is a lifestyle."

On a Twitter roll, Justin added a special Bieber-style Christmas message, "Be kind loving to each other, forgive each other as god forgave us through Christ Merry Christmas IM HERE FOREVER."

Is that a threat or a promise? Or possibly just hype for his new movie Believe?
