Shawn Mendes is taking time off to focus on his mental health. He has been on the road since he was a teenager

“It breaks my heart to have to say this, but unfortunately I will have to postpone the next three weeks through Uncasville, CT until further notice,” he reported through a post on his Instagram. The Stitches interpreter admitted that the couple of years he had taken were not enough to fully recover. ” I’ve been on tour since I was 15 years old and to be honest it’s always been hard touring away from friends and family,” he said.

And it is that his first tour began in 2014 as the opening act for Austine Mahone and continued in 2015 with the release of his first album, Handwritten. From there and after his resounding success, he continued in 2016 with the Shawn Mendes World Tour; in 2017 with the Illuminate World Tour; and in 2019 with Shawn Mendes: The Tour. Subsequently, he released the album Wonder in 2020, with a planned tour for 2022. However, the 2 years of rest were not enough after keeping moving since the previous decade.
