Shawn Mendes postpones world tour, citing mental health: "This breaks my heart"
CBSN
Music superstar Shawn Mendes announced Friday that he is stepping away from his world tour "to take care of myself and my mental health." The 23-year-old told his 69 million Instagram followers that he is postponing at least the next three weeks of shows.
"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," Mendes wrote. "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."
Mendes is less than two weeks into his Wonder tour, which kicked off June 27 in Portland, Oregon.
