Michael Buble's management team says the crooner is not calling it quits despite a media report claiming otherwise.

A profile piece in The Daily Mail鈥檚 Weekend Magazine says the Canadian singer was going to 鈥溾€� after dealing with his son鈥檚鈥渓ife-changing鈥� battle with cancer two years ago.

In his supposed 鈥渓ast interview,鈥� he explained how the decision stemmed from his experience with his five-year-old son Noah鈥檚 ongoing struggle with cancer, which had forced the hitmaker and his wife to put their careers on hold.

Buble also told the outlet that 鈥淚 don鈥檛 have the stomach for it anymore.鈥�

But despite his comments saying he鈥檚 done with all the fame, his management says that this is not the case.

A post on Buble Insider, a Facebook group run by Michael Buble鈥檚 management, said that 鈥渞umours and reports that Michael is quitting is completely false.鈥�

鈥淲e ask everyone to not share any of these tabloid stories and delete any posts already shared to the Buble Insider and personal pages,鈥� wrote Michelle R. Larsen, digital media manager at Bruce Allen Talent, the agency that deals with Buble.

Buble鈥檚 supposed retirement announcement would be strange timing considering that he hadn鈥檛 mentioned anything last month, when the 43-year-old Juno and Grammy-award-winning singer announced that he was releasing a new album on Nov. 16.

In the posted in September, he said his new album would be called "Love.鈥� Multiple songs from the album have been made public, with the most recent release happening Friday.

But The Daily Mail said that after putting out the album, Buble wants to bow out.

After listing some reasons why he鈥檚 putting out the album, he reportedly said: 鈥淭his is my last interview 鈥� I鈥檓 retiring from the business. I鈥檝e made the perfect record and now I can leave at the very top.鈥�

But Weekend Magazine author Chrissy Iley writes that 鈥渟omehow, though, I don鈥檛 think he really means it.鈥�

Buble and his wife Luisana Lopilato are also raising two other children together, their son Elias, 2, and daughter Vida Amber Betty, who was born inJuly.
