Shawn Mendes has just announced that he is putting his career on hold to “take some time” and focus on his mental health.
The Canadian singer just cancelled the rest of his world tour Wonder just three weeks after postponing some dates. The 23-year-old singer-songwriter released a lengthy statement on Instagram, in which he explained why he decided to pull the plug on the tour so that he could “take the time I’ve never taken personally.”
“As you know, I had to postpone the last few weeks of shows because I wasn’t fully prepared for the ordeal of getting back on the road. I went into this tour excited to get back on stage after a long break due to the pandemic, but the reality is that I was completely unprepared for the difficulty of touring after this period of absence.”
“I love you all and thank you so much for supporting me and sticking by me through this journey.”
