Justin Bieber just gave his fans a very unsettling Christmas surprise — the pop star announced retirement in a tweet.

The announcement comes a week after Bieber told Los Angeles radio station Power 106 he's planning to retire after the next album.

"After the new album, I'm actually retiring man," he said at the time.

Bieber followed up today's tweet with a couple of others that indicate he might not be retiring for good, claiming he would "never leave" his fans.

The singer leaves a lot of questions unanswered, though. In a very recent tweet, he claims he's going to "surprise a lot of people this week," followed with a #BelieveMovie hashtag. We'll likely find out what all this means — and whether the talk of retirement is real — in the following days.
