BREAKING: Canadian pop star Shawn Mendes has cancelled the rest of his world tour to care for his mental health.
"After speaking more with my team and working with an incredible group of health professionals, it has become more clear that I need to take the time I've never taken personally to ground myself and come back stronger," the 23-year-old singer wrote.This includes four dates in Canada: two shows in Toronto on July 31 and Aug. 2; and two shows in Montreal on Aug. 15 and 16.
Mendes assured fans that the cancelled tour won't impact his plans to make new music — or to perform onstage again in the future.Earlier this month, Mendes told fans that he would be taking a three-week break from the tour, postponing a string of shows in the U.S., saying that he had "hit a breaking point" after touring steadily since he was 15 years old.
