Justin, 36, made the announcement via his social media pages, and said on his Instagram page that the new tracks were inspired in large part by his wife, Jessica Biel, and his two-year-old son Silas.

He said: "This album is really inspired by my son, my wife, my family, but more so than any other album I've ever written, where I'm from, and it's personal."

His first single will be released this Friday, and was teased in the clip with a montage of him in the middle of several scenic backgrounds.

The star has been taking a break from music since his last release – The 20/20 Experience - was released in 2013.

He came back into the charts in 2016 with track Can’t Stop the Feeling, which was the leading song on the soundtrack of Dreamworks film Trolls.

In September, Justin - who previously tasted success with US boy band NSYNC before going solo - featured on the new Foo Fighters album, 'Concrete and Gold', after providing backing vocals for track 'Make It Right'.

Just two days after the album is released, Justin will take centre stage as the main event of the Superbowl half-time show.

The Ten-time Grammy winner, 36, set to take to the stage in Minneapolis on February 4, 14 years after his controversial last appearance.

Back in 2005, he performed alongside Janet Jackson, where a “wardrobe malfunction” saw his co-performer expose a breast in front of the millions watching at home.

Viewers were outraged, which led to a change in American TV broadcast regulation, with a compulsory five-second broadcast delay implemented by the Federal Communications Commission.

Over the years, the Super Bowl halftime show has evolved from a basic break to a huge annual spectacle - usually incorporating pyrotechnics, elaborate stage production and megastar performers.

It will mark his third Super Bowl performance, meaning he will clock up more appearances at the National Football League (NFL) showpiece than any other individual entertainer.
