Shawn Mendes postpones US tour dates: “I’ve hit a breaking point”
By Andy Malt | Published on Monday 11 July 2022
Shawn Mendes has announced that he is postponing the US tour dates he has scheduled in until the end of this month in order to focus on his mental health.
“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”, he wrote in a social media update last week.
“I’ve been touring since I was fifteen and to be honest it’s always been difficult to be on the road away from friends and family”, he continued. “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”, he concluded. “As soon as there are more updates I promise I will let you know”.
Mendes is currently scheduled to resume the tour on 31 Jul in Toronto with dates then continuing to the end of October. He also has European shows in the calendar for next summer. No information on when the postponed dates will be rescheduled to has been provided as yet.
