Shawn Mendes Postpones Tour Dates Due to Mental Health
Shawn Mendes has announced he’s postponing the next three weeks of his tour dates due to mental health reasons. The singer issued the following statement via his social media channels:…
Shawn Mendes has announced he's postponing the next three weeks of his tour dates due to mental health reasons.
"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. 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."
We send our well-wishes to Mendes as he takes time to tend to his mental health and hope to see him return to performing in three weeks.

Some of the world’s most famous musicians held regular jobs while trying to make it in the music industry. In recent years, thanks to the digital era—especially with the advent of social media—artists have used creative methods other than record labels to get their music out there. Whether dropping original songs or covers on major streaming and social media platforms or being in the right place at the right time, these musicians demonstrate that you never really know who’s listening and watching.
