Justin Bieber made a bold announcement that he is retiring from the glitzy world of music much to the surprise of the Canadian pop star's fans!

Hordes of 'beliebers' were shocked when the 'Baby' singer announced on Power 106 radio station that he will fade away after the release of his latest album entitled "Complete My Journals" on Dec. 23.

"Um, I'm actually retiring, man ... I'm retiring," Justin Bieber told the DJ with a straight face during an interview last Tuesday. One of the hosts was even heard blurting out "Noo!" in the middle of Bieber's sentence.

With those seven words, the 19-year-old sent the social media buzzing.

A seven-second clip was uploaded on YouTube and shared on Twitter and Facebook, which only fueled imagination that Justin Bieber is retiring due to the lack of context.

Celeb Buzz published the reactions by the Beliebers who posted their sentiments on Twitter. Among the tweet golds were:

"actually will jump off a cliff if you retire @justinbieber"
PLEASE JUSTIN @Stay_For_JB

Don't leave us @justinbieber .. Don't retire.. It would brake my heart.. Don't.." @Fredoismycrush

"if @justinbieber is going to retire, I'll break my bones and die. Bye."
- Bubbles Bieber @iChuckBiebs

"@justinbieber i'm crying so hard rn, baby you cant retire"

While Beliebers were up in arms, others were rejoicing.

Aradia Sialos commented on the posted YouTube video: "As much as I wish this were true, I think it's either a joke, he's high, or he thinks he is but in a year he'll be back because he'll be broke."

Junior Mimi added: "This little b---- ass is high as fuck. He doesn't know what the hell he saying. Hope he's monkey ass steps out, he's music suck monkey balls. "

However, Justin Bieber's retirement could be another marketing ploy as the pop star said that all will be revealed when the full interview is released.
