Shawn Mendes will not be returning to the stage… at least for a while! After postponing several weeks of his Wonder world tour earlier this month when he hit his “breaking point,” the Canadian musician has officially canceled the remaining concert dates over continued mental health challenges.
Taking to Instagram on Tuesday, the 23-year-old penned a heartfelt message to fans to inform them of the disappointing update, writing: Oh, no!

BTW, the Wonder world tour had him booked up until this time NEXT SUMMER! If he’s not doing well now, it makes sense to hit pause before he’s even more burned out.
To make things official, he sadly stated: 100%! Thankfully, this break from the stage does not mean a full hiatus for the pop star! (Though if that’s what he really needed, we’re sure fans would support a complete break, too.) Camila Cabello’s ex-boyfriend reassured followers that he’ll still be picking up his guitar to produce more songs during his unexpected time off, adding: It’s hopeful that he still wants to make more records!
