Singer Shawn Mendes slammed the brakes on his hotly-anticipated world tour in a bid to take care of his mental health.
The 23-year-old “Stitches” hitmaker said he’s “hit a breaking point” and needs time away from the limelight to pause and reset.
Shawn Mendes kicked off his Wonder world tour in Portland, Oregon on June 27 with shows in the United States and Canada scheduled through October. The tour also includes a European leg which was scheduled to begin in May 2023.
The Canadian singer told fans in an Instagram post on Friday :
This breaks my heart to have to say this, but unfortunately I’m going to have to postpone the next three weeks of shows through Uncasville, CT until further notice. I’ve been touring since I was 15 and to be honest it’s always been difficult to be on the road away from friends and family,” he wrote in an Instagram post. “After a few years off the road, I felt like I was ready to dive back in, but that decision was premature and unfortunately the toll of the road and the pressure has caught up to me and Ive hit a breaking point. After speaking with my team and health professionals, I need to take some time to heal and take care of myself and my mental health, first and foremost. As soon as there are more updates I promise I will let you know love you guys
