Singer Shawn Mendes has postponed his concert at Mohegan Sun to spend time with his friends and family.
The postponement is one of many over the span of three weeks, Mendes said on Twitter. The concert at Mohegan Sun was set to take place on July 29.
“I’ve been touring since I was 15 and to be honest, it’s always been difficult to be on the road away from friends and family,” Mendes said.
The singer said he spent a few years off the road and felt as if he was ready to “dive back in,” but admitted that his decision was premature.
“Unfortunately the toll of the road and the pressure has caught up to me and I’ve hit a breaking point.”

“After speaking with my team and health professionals, I need to take some time to heal and take care of myself and my mental health, first and foremost,” Mendes said.
The concert has been postponed until further notice.
