Justin Bieber announces retirement at the ripe old age of 19

Popstars just don't have the endurance levels they used to do they?

In fairness to the diminutive Canadian teen pop crooner, he’s come under a pretty horrific level of media scrutiny from a very young age. But he’s also made A F**KING TRUCKLOAD OF MONEY and frankly, we’d switch places with him.

Bieber took his Twitter last night and announced to damn near 48 million followers that he was throwing in the towel. 19 year olds these days just don’t have the endurance they used to. Even if he could give just a little bit of his fame to those poor b**tards in East 17, the world would be a more well rounded place.

Biiiebs

Pretty much straight away the news spread like wildfire, as teen girls all over the world quite probably hulked out and flipped over a lot of tables, spilling many festive drinks in the process. Expect TMZ headlines tomorrow about how “Bieber Ruins Christmas” for just this reason.

Best of luck to the fella. Can you imagine being THAT rich and THAT famous mere months after vacating the confusing time that is puberty?

He handled it well considering…
