Justin Bieber has told eager fans he's emotionally unable' to bring out new music after being pestered to release an album.
It's been more than three years since the Sorry singer brought out fourth studio album Purpose, to critically and commercial acclaim in November 2015.
Since then the former child star has spoken about dealing with mental health issues and last year he tied the knot with longterm friend Hailey Baldwin.
Now 25-year-old Justin has admitted to his loyal fanbase that his health and family have to come first and his music will be taking a backseat.
In a candid post to fans, Justin shared: "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."
Justin continued: "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."
He then vowed to come back with a 'kick ass album' as soon as he could.
The singer was subsequently inundated with messages of support from his adoring following.
"We will be here for you every step of the way," said one.
While another added: "We're always proud of you."

Just last week it was reported Justin was already struggling with his six month marriage to Hailey, 22.
Rumous about the couple started swirling when their second big day - a follow up to last September's civil ceremony - was postponed.
"They will still have a wedding eventually, but this is not their focus right now," a source told People.
"They haven't sent out any new save the dates. They will wait until Justin feels better and is excited about planning their wedding again."

Earlier this month he wrote: "Just wanted to keep you guys updated a little bit hopefully what I’m going through will resonate with you guys.
"Been struggling a lot. Just feeling super disconnected and weird...I always bounce back, so I’m not worried just wanted to reach out and ask for you guys to pray for me.
"God is faithful and ur prayers really work thanks...the most human season I’ve ever been in facing my stuff head on."
