There’s nothing stopping him from some downtime.
Shawn Mendes tries to live a normal life after canceling his world tour to focus on his mental health.
“I take a lot of time going into therapy alone, just take it easy, man,” the singer, who recently turned 24, told TMZ on Tuesday.
Mendes added that he hung out with his family and did things he “couldn’t have done” while on the job.
“I think for me it’s just about spending time doing things that I haven’t really done in the past few years, and so eating with friends and stuff,” he said.
The “Treat You Better” crooner also shared that he thinks fans who spent money on hotels to see him perform his now-cancelled concerts could get some compensation.
“They can figure it out. I mean, everything’s kind of workable,’ he said.
Mendes announced in late July that he would be canceling the remainder of his “Wonder” tour to focus on himself.
“I started this tour excited to finally play live again after a long hiatus due to the pandemic, but the reality is I was not at all ready for how difficult touring would be after this time gone,” he said in a social media post at the time. .
The Grammy nominee told fans he would resume the tour when he’s ready and also promised to continue recording music while he heals so he can “come back stronger”.
“I promise I’ll be back as soon as I’ve taken the proper time to heal,” he said, adding: “I love you all and thank you all so much for supporting me and staying with me on this trip.”
After stepping back from his performances, Mendes was spotted this weekend enjoying a beach day in Miami with friends. He was also seen blowing off steam by throwing a party with The Weeknd at club LIV.
Mendes is seemingly still single after breaking up with his girlfriend of nearly three years, Camila Cabello, in November 2021. He shared earlier this year that he hates being alone while talking about his mental health issues.
Meanwhile, Cabello, 25, has moved on with Lox Club CEO Austin Kevitch.
