In 2022, Shawn Mendes canceled his tour due to mental health problems. Now he is back with the announcement of a new album.
After around two years, Shawn Mendes (25) is finally ready for further career highlights. To the great dismay of his fans, the Canadian singer had to cancel his entire world tour in July 2022 due to acute mental health problems and took a break for himself. Like he did back then explained in an Instagram post that after the break caused by the corona pandemic, he initially did not realize how difficult it would be for him to expose himself to a huge audience at concerts again.
Shawn Mendes is starting again
Almost two years later, Mendes came forward on March 7th on Instagram to his fans with good news back. He wrote: “It’s been a really long time since I last played live and I’m so excited to be headlining Rock In Rio on September 22nd. I’ve missed being on stage so much to stand and see you all in person!” But that’s not all: “I’ve also been working on a new album and I can’t wait to play these new songs live for you.”
Shawn Mendes is not only known for hits like “Treat You Better” or “Stitches”, but also for his former relationship with the singer and actress Camila Cabello (27). The two were considered the absolute dream couple of the pop world between 2019 and 2021 until their separation. In April 2023 there was a temporary love comeback between the two, but it was only short-lived.
