Justin Bieber has given fans an early Christmas present - confirmation he is to make a 2020 comeback.

Axar.az reports citing BBC.

The Canadian pop star chose 24 December to announce he will release a new single, called Yummy, on 3 January - the debut track from an upcoming, as yet untitled fifth album.

The 25-year-old also revealed he is to tour the US and his home nation between May and September.

The singer announced as well he is to appear in a new documentary TV series.

Bieber took an extended break from music in 2017 after cancelling the last 14 dates of his Purpose World Tour.

Yet this year saw him appear as a guest vocalist on Ed Sheeran's I Don't Care and a remix of Billie Eilish's Bad Guy.

This - together with an appearance with Ariana Grande at Coachella in April - led to speculation that he might be about to return with new solo material.
