Shawn Mendes cancels world tour to prioritize his health

By The Associated Press

Shawn Mendes has pulled the plug on the rest of his world tour, cancelling dates in North America and Europe so he can focus on his mental health. “I was not at all ready for how difficult touring would be after this time away,” the singer-songwriter posted on social media. He assured fans he will continue to make music and will tour in the future. “I promise I will be back as soon as I’ve taken the right time to heal,” he wrote. Mendes has had six top 10 hits on the Billboard Hot 100, including “There’s Nothing Holdin’ Me Back,” “If I Can’t Have You” and “Senorita.”
