Shawn Mendes has revealed he is postponing three weeks of his tour in order to focus on his mental health after hitting ‘breaking point’.
The singer, 23, is currently on his Wonder World Tour but revealed he was taking some time out on the advice of his doctors and team after struggling with his mental health.
Shawn told his fans in a statement reading: ‘This breaks my heart to have to say this, but unfortunately I’m going to have to postpone the next three weeks of shows through Uncasville, CT until further notice.‘I’ve been touring since I was 15 and to be honest it’s always been difficult to be 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 decision was premature and unfortunately the toll of the road and the pressure has caught up to me and I’ve hit a breaking point.’He added: ‘After speaking with my team and health professionals, I need to take some time to heal and take care of myself and my mental health, first and foremost.‘As soon as there are more updates I promise I will let you know.
Love you guys.’The Grammy award winner has previously been open about his mental health with fans, opening up in April about how he sometimes felt like he was ‘drowning’.
