Shawn Mendes Shares Why He Shaved His Head And Talks Decision To Cancel World Tour To Focus On Mental Health

Shawn Mendes is opening up about the big changes he’s made in the last year. In a new interview with WSJ magazine, the “Wonder” singer explains the hair transformation that saw him trade his signature curly locks for a buzzed cut. “I think everyone should know what they look like with a shaved head,” the 24-year-old singer tells the publication. “I also was just feeling this urge to just shake myself up a little bit.” Another major change came last year when the Canadian superstar pulled the plug on his “Wonder World tour” in order to focus on his mental health.

Although he says the decision to leave the road during the halfway point was tough, he knew it was something that he had to do. “The process was very difficult.

A lot of doing therapy, a lot of trying to understand how I was feeling and what was making me feel that way,” he says. “And then doing the work to help myself and heal.

And also leaning on people in my life to help a little bit.” He continues, “It’s been a lot of work, but I think the last year and a half has been the most eye-opening and growing and beautiful and just healing process of my life.
