Dates through Aug 2023 are affected

Shawn Mendes has canceled the remainder dates of 2022 Wonder: The World Tour in North America, The UK and Europe. The pop star initially postponed three weeks of dates to focus on his mental health, but decided to cancel following guidance from his healthcare professionals.

“As you guys know, I had to postpone the past few weeks of shows since I wasn’t totally prepared for the toll that being back on the road would take on me,” he shares on social media. “I started this tour excited to finally get back to playing live after a long break due to the pandemic, but the reality is I was not all ready for how difficult touring would be after this time away. After speaking more 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, to ground myself and come back stronger.

“I unfortunately have to cancel the rest of the tour dates in North America, and the UK/Europe. We were hopeful that I might be able to pick up with the rest of the dates after some much. needed time off, but at this time I have to put my health as my first priority. This doesn’t mean I won’t be making new music, and I can’t wait to see you on tour in the future. I know you all have been waiting so long to see these shows, and it breaks my heart to tell you this but I promise I will be back as soon as I’ve taken the right time to heal. I love you all and thank you all so much for supporting me and sticking by me on this journey.”

The tour was set to conclude in the States in October and begin next year in Europe. All dates through August 1, 2023 are affected.

Mendes’ most recent album Wonder debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Top 200 upon its release in 2020, making Mendes one of three male artists ever to score four No. 1 albums by 22 years old.
