Brace yourselves, Beliebers, we have some unfortunate news for you. 

Justin Bieber has officially announced a hiatus from music. While the pop singer hasn't released an album since 2015's Purpose, he has kept himself busy over the past couple of years with an extensive, and exhausting, tour cycle, as well as being featured in some of the biggest songs in recent history. Now, however, the Biebs has announced that he's taking a much-needed break from music to focus on himself, his family and his mental health. 

Bieber broke the news via an Instagram post the read: "So I read a lot of messages saying you want an album .. I’ve toured my whole teenage life, and early 20s, I realized and as you guys probably saw I was unhappy last tour and I don’t deserve that and you don’t deserve that, you pay money to come and have a lively energetic fun light concert and I was unable emotionally to give you that near the end of the tour. I have been looking, seeking, trial and error as most of us do, I am now very focused on repairing some of the deep rooted issues that I have as most of us have, so that I don’t fall apart, so that I can sustain my marriage and be the father I want to be. Music is very important to me but Nothing comes before my family and my health. I will come with a kick ass album ASAP, my swag is undeniable and my drive is indescribable his love is supernatural his grace is that reliable.... the top is where I reside period whether I make music or not the king said so. 👑 but I will come with a vengeance believe that.. (grammar and punctuation will be terrible pretend it’s a text where u just don’t care)." 

Here's wishing Bieber a blissful and peaceful hiatus while we eagerly await his return.
