Shawn Mendes, a Canadian singing sensation, postponed the remainder of his Wonder global tour for three weeks on July 8 in order to concentrate on his mental health. On July 27, Mendes announced the cancellation on her social media accounts.
What was the ‘Wonder’ world tour about?
The Wonderworld tour was organized by Shawn Mendes to promote his most current album, which was released at the end of 2020. The ongoing pandemic at the time forced the 23-year-old to cancel his tour. Shawn Mendes had planned to begin the tour in 2022 on July 9 in Saint Paul, Minnesota, and continue it through August of that year, however the plans were scrapped.
Why did Shawn Mendes have to cancel the tour?
Numerous supporters supported Mendes’ choice to completely cancel the tour after hearing his brief explanation of why he had to do so. Many of his supporters supported the cancellation and advised him to “take all the time” necessary to recover. Some local (US-based) and foreign fans, however, were dissatisfied with cancellations of hotel reservations, transportation costs, and other expenses. Shawn Mendes recently admitted on social media that he wasn’t ready to deal with the strain of going back on tour.
He stated: “I was eager to resume live performances after a protracted hiatus caused by the pandemic. When I embarked on this tour. But the truth is that I was not at all prepared for how challenging traveling would be after this absence. It has become more obvious that I need to take the time I’ve never taken personally. To ground me and return stronger after talking more with my team. And working with an amazing collection of health specialists.”
Most people supported Shawn Mendes’ decision
While most people agreed with Shawn Mendes’ choice, some had concerns about his decision to return the ticket money. It’s possible that many of his fans who flew in to see his performances won’t get appropriate reimbursement for their accommodation and travel expenses.
Putting your health as a priority (even when it’s hard) gives others the ability to put their health first with less stigma. That is a good thing.
