Shawn Mendes performs live on stage at the Staples Center in 2019, in Los Angeles.

Singer Shawn Mendes has postponed his upcoming Pittsburgh concert.

In an Instagram post, the 23-year-old cited mental health concerns as the reason he is pushing back 12 shows from “Wonder: The World Tour” over the next three weeks.

“After speaking with my team and health professionals, I need to take some time to heal and take care of myself and my mental health, first and foremost,” the Friday post reads.

Mendes was slated to make a Pittsburgh stop on July 20 at PPG Paints Arena.

The Wonder tour — Mendes’s fifth concert tour — kicked off in June.

In his post, Mendes described touring since he was 15 years old as “difficult.”

The Canadian singer promised fans he will share information on the shows’ status “as soon as there are more updates.”
