On Friday, the 23-year-old \u201cStitches\u201d singer announced that he is pushing back the dates of his upcoming shows for his Wonder world tour.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis breaks my heart to have to say this, but unfortunately, I\u2019m going to have to postpone the next three weeks of shows through Uncasville, CT, until further notice,\u201d he\u00a0wrote. He added that he\u2019s \u201cbeen touring since I was 15, and to be honest, it\u2019s always been difficult to be on the road away from friends and family.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mendes said that because he had \u201ca few years off\u201d from touring, \u201cI 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 I\u2019ve hit a breaking point.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter 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; I love you guys,\u201d he concluded. In support of his 2020 album\u00a0<em>Wonder,\u00a0<\/em>Mendes kicked off his world tour in Portland, Oregon, on June 27.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" style=\"background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 540px; min-width: 326px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);\" data-instgrm-captioned=\"\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CfxeT0wliNG\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\">\n<div style=\"padding: 16px;\">\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: row; align-items: center;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 40px; margin-right: 14px; width: 40px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 100px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 60px;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 19% 0;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block; height: 50px; margin: 0 auto 12px; width: 50px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"padding-top: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"color: #3897f0; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 550; line-height: 18px;\">View this post on Instagram<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 12.5% 0;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: row; margin-bottom: 14px; align-items: center;\">\n<div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(0px) translateY(7px);\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; height: 12.5px; transform: rotate(-45deg) translateX(3px) translateY(1px); width: 12.5px; flex-grow: 0; margin-right: 14px; margin-left: 2px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(9px) translateY(-18px);\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-left: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 20px; width: 20px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 2px solid transparent; border-left: 6px solid #f4f4f4; border-bottom: 2px solid transparent; transform: translateX(16px) translateY(-4px) rotate(30deg);\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-left: auto;\">\n<div style=\"width: 0px; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-right: 8px solid transparent; transform: translateY(16px);\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; flex-grow: 0; height: 12px; width: 16px; transform: translateY(-4px);\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-left: 8px solid transparent; transform: translateY(-4px) translateX(8px);\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center; margin-bottom: 24px;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 224px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 144px;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 8px; overflow: hidden; padding: 8px 0 7px; text-align: center; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap;\"><a style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CfxeT0wliNG\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">A post shared by Shawn Mendes (@shawnmendes)<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>He was set to continue his\u00a0tour\u00a0in St. Paul, Minnesota, on Saturday. The final show he postponed in Uncasville, Connecticut, was scheduled for July 29. In a vulnerable\u00a0Instagram\u00a0post shared in December, the Grammy-nominated singer opened up to his fans and said he was having a \u201chard time with social media at the moment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He first thanked his supporters for connecting with\u00a0his new song, \u201cIt\u2019ll Be Okay,\u201d which he released just weeks after splitting from his girlfriend of over two years,\u00a0Camila Cabello. A source told <em>PEOPLE Magazine <\/em>that Mendes is now getting the help he needs, adding that he\u2019s a sensitive and caring guy. The insider added, \u201cWhen he gets frustrated with things around him, he turns inward and suffers. He said he is getting help, so that is admirable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The singer first spoke about\u00a0having anxiety\u00a0in a 2018 interview with Zane Lowe and said one year later that opening up about the struggle was \u201cone of the scariest but most important things I\u2019ve ever done.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At the time, Mendes said that addressing his anxiety by releasing the single\u00a0\u201cIn My Blood,\u201d which would go on to earn a Grammy nomination, was cathartic. \u201cJust doing that helped me the most,\u201d he said. \u201cI still struggle with it but just remember every day that everyone deals with some level of anxiety or pressure; we\u2019re all in it together.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s nothing wrong with admitting that you\u2019re overwhelmed and need help. It doesn\u2019t make you weak, and people won\u2019t look down on you due to your decision. In fact, people would admire the fact that you\u2019re opening yourself up to receiving help. Mendes\u2019 decision reminds us that celebrities are regular people who go through the same struggles that we do. Let\u2019s pray that Shawn Mendes gets the help he needs to resume his tour.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shawn Mendes\u00a0is taking a break from his tour to focus on his mental health.
