The Canadian singer

The Canadian singer made the announcement earlier this month that he would be taking a break from his tour in order to "take care of myself and my mental health." Shawn Mendes is out there getting his dose of vitamin D from the sun.

"Treat You Better"

This past weekend, the artist who is most known for his song "Treat You Better" was caught on camera stripping down while spending time with his friends in Santa Monica, California. The city is located in the state of California.

Mendes, who is 23 years old, also walked around barefoot while out for a stroll, exposing his ripped body and several tattoos. During the midday excursion, he wore black bathing shorts, a necklace, and a bracelet.

"Mercy"

At the beginning of this month, the singer who is most known for the song "Mercy" said that he would be delaying certain performance dates on the Wonderworld tour so that he could focus on his mental health.

"It aches my heart to have to tell this, but regrettably I'm going to have to postpone the following three weeks of concerts through Uncasville, CT till further notice," he wrote. "I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause."

He went on to say that he has been on tour "since I was 15 years old, and to tell you the truth, it's always been difficult to be on the road away from friends and family."

Mendes stated

Following a hiatus of many years from performing live, Mendes stated that he "felt like I was ready to plunge back in." In spite of this, he came to the conclusion that "that choice was premature and sadly the toll of the road and the strain has caught up to me." Mendes revealed, "I've reached my limit at this time."

"Following conversations with members of my team and health specialists, I have determined that I need to give myself some time to recuperate and focus on prioritizing both my physical and emotional well-being. I guarantee that I will let you know as soon as there are any more changes, and I love you all "In conclusion, he said.

Public spotlight

After some time had passed, a source stated that "being in the public spotlight has long put a lot of strain" on the singer. This was believed to have been the case for a lengthy period of time.

Difficulty in finding a balance between taking care of his mental health and working

Despite the challenges that Mendes has faced "finding a balance between taking care of his mental health and working, the source stated that "he is now able to identify triggers that make it necessary for him to slow down and focus on his health."

This was in contrast to what the source had stated previously regarding "finding a balance between working and taking care of his mental health." He intends to devote each and every ounce of his strength and attention to his concert tour and his followers."

Interview in 2018

In an interview that took place in 2018, Mendes discussed his history of dealing with anxiety with Beats 1 broadcaster Zane Lowe. One year later, he stated that coming public with his problem was "one of the scariest but most essential things I've ever done." He also stated that he was glad that he did it.

"In My Blood"

When asked about it at the time, Mendes revealed that it was cathartic for him to tackle his fear in his tune "In My Blood," which would go on to be nominated for a Grammy later on. "In My Blood" was written by Mendes.

He stated that "just doing that benefited me the most." "I still battle with it, but just realize that everyone struggles with some kind of worry or pressure; we're all in this together," she said. "It's like we're all in the same boat."
