Mental health issues, Shawn Mendes cancels concerts

Shawn Mendes has canceled the rest of his UK, North American and European world tour to prioritize his health, the singer has announced.

Breaking the news to his 69.7 million Instagram followers, the 23-year-old said he was "not at all prepared for how difficult the tournament was going to be" after his long lay-off due to the COVID pandemic.

“After talking more with my team and working with an incredible group of health professionals, it's become more clear that I need to spend time that I've never taken personally to support myself and get back stronger. ,” he said.

It comes after the Treat You Better singer announced he was postponing a number of shows to take care of himself and his mental health.

Mendes had more than 80 shows scheduled across the US, UK and Europe.

"We were hopeful that I might be able to continue with the rest of the dates after a much-needed break, but at this time I must make my health my first priority," the Grammy winner's statement continued.

Despite canceling his tour, Mendes added that it "doesn't mean" he won't be making new music and thanked his fans for sticking by him.

"I know you've all been waiting so long to see these shows and it breaks my heart to tell you this, but I promise I'll be back as soon as I've had enough time to heal," he said.
