Justin Bieber announces his new album is coming THIS YEAR
That's what he said!
Last updated 9th Oct 2019
Justin Bieber has had one heck of a year - not only has he appeared on some of the biggest songs of 2019, he also got married! Biebs officially tied the knot with childhood sweetheart Hailey Baldwin last November, but the pair had another ceremony with friends and family present last week.
Although his wedding is a seriously big deal, Justin has now trumped that with the news that he'll be releasing his latest album THIS YEAR. As in sometime during the next three months.
The new album, which will be his fifth in total, will be a follow-up to 'Purpose', released in November 2015 - and in a live Instagram video of himself, announced that he's "putting out an album this year."
His wife Hailey could then be heard asking on the video, "This year meaning before 2020? I thought you already were doing it this year?" with Justin then saying, "Album coming out this year... Legit though, like this year."
Justin has thankfully been keeping his fans sweet by releasing music in dribs and drabs this year, putting out 'I Don't Care' with Ed Sheeran, as well as a remix of 'Bad Guy' with Billie Eilish and his newest release '10,000 Hours' with country artists Dan + Shay.
'Sorry' singer Justin said he was taking time off from music for a while earlier this year, telling fans on Instagram that he was focusing on his own personal wellness first. He wrote, 'I’ve toured my whole teenage life, and early 20s, I realised 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 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.'
