The 19-year-old singer announced to his nearly 50 million Twitter followers that he is retiring -- with little explanation.

The singer pulled a similar stunt last week, joking in a radio interview that he would call it quits after the release of his " Complete My Journals " album on Monday.
Bieber’s new documentary movie "Believe" opens Christmas Day.
Despite tonight's announcement, we have a feeling Bieber will come out of retirement and get back into the studio very soon.
