Popular American pop star Justin Bieber sent out a series of
mixed messages over his Twitter feed on Tuesday night, one of which said he was
retiring, on the eve of the Christmas Day release of the latest film
chronicling the life of the Canadian singer. The tweet read “My beloved
beliebers I’m officially retiring” – was quickly followed by another message:
“I’m never leaving you, being a belieber is a lifestyle.”
Representatives for Bieber did not immediately respond to a
request for clarification. The Canadian singer has been involved in a series of
headline-grabbing incidents over the past year.
In June, Bieber struck a photographer with his Ferrari
sports car while driving away from a comedy club in Los Angeles, though police
said the accident was not considered a hit-and-run.
The “retirement” message went out on the night of Christmas
Eve and by the following morning had nearly a quarter million retweets and over
185,000 favorites.
Twitter user @theycallmejerry tweeted: “A life without
Justin Bieber. A life without my idol, hero, inspiration, my everything. Not
the best thing to think about on Christmas Eve.”
On the other end of the spectrum, Twitter user CozImAGuy
said, “Justin Bieber retiring is the greatest Christmas gift EVER.”
