Shawn Mendes has decided to postpone a number of tour dates owing to the strain of performing live
Shawn Mendes, a Canadian pop musician, has decided to cancel the rest of his tour dates so that he may concentrate on his health.
After the Covid pandemic in 2020 put a stop to tours all over the world, the 23-year-old musician is one of several stars who have lately resumed their live performances.
In spite of this, Mendes stated in a statement that he “was not at all ready for how difficult touring would be after this time away.”
He assured his devoted following that he will perform again after he “took the appropriate amount of time to heal.”
Mendes was not scheduled to perform in the UK until 2023, with shows planned in Birmingham, Glasgow, London, and Sheffield; however, those plans have been postponed at this time.
Mendes released the following statement on his social media platforms: “I started this tour happy to finally come back to playing live after a long gap due to the pandemic, but the reality is that I was not at all prepared for how difficult touring would be after this time away.”
“After talking 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 in order to ground myself and come back stronger. This is something I’ve never done in the past, and it’s something I’ve never done.
“It hurts me to have to tell you this, but I promise that I will be back as soon as I have allowed myself the appropriate amount of time to recover.”
He thanked fans for their support and reassured them that the fact that he had to cancel the gigs did not imply that he would give up making music. He said that he hoped to reschedule the shows at some point in the future.
