Mendes posted a statement on his Insta where he explained the toll touring has historically taken on him. “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,” he said. He then explained that after a couple of years without touring, he thought he was ready jump back on the wagon. “That decision was premature and unfortunately the toll of the road and the pressure has caught up to me and I’ve hit a breaking point,” Mendes wrote. “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.”
