Shawn Mendes looked rested and relaxed while taking a casual walk with a couple of friends in West Hollywood on Sunday.

While out and about, the 24-year-old Canadian-born pop star soaked up the South California sunshine while sporting a toothpick in his mouth.

The Summer Of Love star has been enjoying a break from her hectic career since July, when she made the decision to cancel her Wonder World Tour to focus on her mental health.

With temperatures reaching the upper 80s Fahrenheit, Mendes kept cool in black shorts and a white tank top, which he covered with a short brown button-down shirt that he left open.

In keeping with his casual theme, the Pickering, Ontario native roamed the city in a pair of padded brown sandals, while his brown hair was styled in a feathered style with a middle part reminiscent of 1970s fashion.

As he made the rounds, chatted and glanced occasionally at a store front, Mendes seemed to lead the way, his two friends following close behind.

They eventually stopped for lunch at a restaurant.

During a recent chat with TMZ, the singer confessed that he’s been taking it easy as he tries to work out some of his issues in therapy.

She also admitted that she’s been spending time with friends and family, something she hasn’t been able to do much of in recent years, which has also been very therapeutic.

Fans may remember, Mendes he postponed some of his shows in early July to focus on his mental health, but later that month confirmed on social media that the tour had been canceled entirely so he could prioritize his well-being.

Mendes first rose to prominence in 2013, when he was just 15, after posting covers of songs on the video-sharing app Vine.

In the following year, he signed a record deal, gained management, and released his self-titled debut EP.

He would go on to release his debut studio album, Handwritten, in 2015, which reached number one on the Billboard 200, making Mendes one of only five music artists to debut at the top of the charts before the age of 18.

Since then, Mendes has released three more studio albums: Illuminate (2016), Shawn Mendes (2018), and Wonder (2020).

He also contributed his musical talents to eight songs on the upcoming soundtrack.

‘Tracklist for @lylelylecrocodilemovie soundtrack, out 7/10!’ he wrote in an Instagram post last week. “Heartbeat, an original song I wrote in the movie, is coming out next week on 9/30.”
