Prior to making the decision to cancel the tour, Mendes made numerous attempts to reschedule the dates and eventually stated, “I’ve realized it is essential for me to take some personal time that I haven’t had before, to recharge myself and return with renewed strength.

Currently, the singer has come back to the stage, entertaining the audience as part of his efforts to launch his fourth studio album. The album will be available from October 18.
