Singer shawn mendes has postponed his Wonder world tour for three weeks to focus on his mental health.
In a statement, posted on his social media, Mendes said his decision to return to touring was proving difficult to manage and was taking a toll on his health.
“It breaks my heart to have to say this, but unfortunately I will have to postpone the next three weeks of shows in Uncasville, CT until further notice,” Mendes wrote.
“I’ve been on tour since I was 15 and to be honest it’s always been hard being on the road away from friends and family. After a few years off the road I felt like I was ready to dive back in, but that The decision was premature and unfortunately the toll of the road and the pressure caught up with me and I reached a breaking point.”
The 23-year-old singer, known for hit songs like “Treat You Better” and “There’s Nothing Holdin’ Me Back,” said he consulted with his team and health professionals, who advised him to take care of his mental health.
“As soon as there are more updates, I promise I’ll let you know,” the statement concluded.
Mendes’ fourth studio album ‘Wonder’ was released in December 2020 and the world tour kicked off on June 27 in Portland, Oregon. It is scheduled to run through October in the US before picking up again in May 2023 in the UK and Europe.
