Yes,
you heard that right: in an interview with Los Angeles radio
station Power
106, which aired on
the radio this morning, Justin Bieber announces his retirement. When
asked about his new album, the singer says “I’m actually, uh, I’m
retiring, man… I’m just gonna take some time. I think I’m
probably gonna quit music.”
The
Internet, unsurprisingly, had strong
feelings about
this news — mostly feelings that comprised the word “no” with
the letter “o” repeated several times.
But,
though Bieber’s raspy voice doesn’t quite indicate sarcasm,
Beliebers can stand down: TMZ talked
to his people and they confirm that he was just kidding.
Of
course, this is not the first time a star has dropped
the r-word without
really intending to turn to a life of leisure. Bieber’s jape does,
however, indicate that celebrity retirement has crossed into new
territory: enough people have cried
wolf on retirement that
it’s now an easy (and not actually un-funny) joke to make about the
celebrity world. But perhaps Bieber should let the fable teach him a
lesson: be careful with your retirement jokes, or people might not
notice when you eventually mean it. After all, it’s already the
case that not every online response to the joke announcement was one
of horror.
