Weeks, after he postponed concert dates to attend to his mental health, pop star Shawn Mendes, has canceled the remainder of his tour.

With the help of “an outstanding set of health specialists,” the Grammy nominee chose to postpone his tour after realizing he wasn’t prepared for the physical and emotional toll it would have on him.

A long gap due to the epidemic had motivated him to embark on this tour, but as he later confessed, he was unprepared for the difficulties of travelling again after such a long absence. That I must take the personal time I’ve never taken to ground myself and return stronger has become increasingly apparent.

In addition to Sacramento, California, and other places in Canada, Mendes has already done numerous gigs. Fans were alerted earlier this month in a now-deleted post by Mendes that the singer was taking a break from his tour to deal with mental health issues.

The musician, who was born in Canada, has been open and honest with his followers about his health issues. “I feel like I’m either flying or drowning at any one time,” he wrote on his iPhone Note in April.

When he doesn’t care what others say, he writes, I feel free.” Although, “most of the time, it’s a challenge.”

In November, Mendes confirmed his split from Camila Cabello, the artist he collaborated with on “Seorita.” In an interview with SiriusXM’s “Morning Mashup,” Mendes said that he was “offering (himself) a lot of grace” in the months following their divorce. In March, he wrote on Instagram that he was struggling to cope with the breakup of his relationship with her.

“When I’m having a panic attack, who do I call? When I’m f**king on the verge of losing it, who do I call? “he asked in an Instagram video. In other words, “I hate that I finally feel like I’m on my own.”
