By Grace Vidania

Shawn Mendes canceling the rest of the "World" tour this year and makes his fans worried.

In July, Shawn Mendes canceled his tour because he wants to prioritize his mental health but now he is totally canceling ALL his WORLD tours, including the rest of the dates in North America, the UK, and as well as in Europe.

In the announcement posted on his social media account, he explains why he can't continue the tour while expressing deep sadness.

"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 at all ready for how difficult touring would be after this time away."

With the pandemic and everything that is going around right now, for him, putting his health is "my first priority."

Mendes explained that after he speaks with his team and works with a group of health professionals, "it has become clearer that I need to take the time I've never taken personally..." so he can come back stronger.

But it is not the first time, Mendes cancel his tour because he needed a break, "I felt like I was ready to dive back in, but 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."

He even recalled how long he's been touring and he admittedly says that it's always been difficult to be on the road away from friends and family.

But the BIGGEST question right now is, is he leaving the music industry? NO.

In his statement, he promise that he will be back as soon as "I've taken the right time to heal."

The singer also sends his appreciation and that he is grateful for the people who keep on supporting him and sticking with him on this journey.

As for his fans, let us all wish him well.
