Shawn Mendes has confirmed that he has cancelled the remainder of his tour in order to focus on his mental health.
Shawn Mendes Cancels His Tour Citing Mental Health-‘I Have To Put My Health As My First Priority’
This revelation arrives on the back end of Shawn declaring recently that he was postponing his “Wonder: The World Tour.” The tour began in June and was expected to finish in August 2023. But looking back, a break was always on the cards.
Just in April of this year, Shawn expanded on how he was struggling to express his true self to the fanbase. And with so many issues that he needs to combat, the time was right to take a break from the music scene.
In an official statement, he said: “After speaking more with my team and working with an incredible group of health professionals, it has become more clear that I need to take the time I’ve never taken personally to ground myself and come back stronger.”
This is a huge setback for the fans for the following reasons. First of all, the exact timeline of events is not clear, as we are no closer to knowing when Shawn will make a return. With that being said, there is no guarantee that he will make a return to the music industry, if he finds that his mental wellbeing is better off without it.
Secondly, there is also the question of the fans who will not be able to see Shawn perform. Naturally, there is an expectation that they would be refunded, which is going to add to the additional stress that Shawn is going through.
And yet, the star hoped that he would be back as soon as possible. He stated: “We were hopeful that I might be able to pick up with the rest of the dates after some much-needed time off, but at this time I have to put my health as my first priority.”
Hopefully, Shawn can bounce back from this. So there you have it folks. What did you think about this? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below. If you liked reading this article, then check out our other features on the Daily Soap Dish.
