Shawn Mendes Performs with Show Choir from MSD High School at BBMAs 2018 (Video)

Shawn Mendes hugs some of the students from Florida’s Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School while performing together at the 2018 Billboard Music Awards held at the MGM Grand Garden Arena on Sunday (May 20) in Las Vegas.

The 19-year-old singer was also joined by Khalid while performing their song “Youth.”

Shawn recently opened up about how the violence around the world inspired the song.

“I was touring around Europe when the events of Manchester and London happened, it was very overwhelming,” Shawn previously said about the song. “I wanted to write something about it but it had to be about the feeling for us as a generation when one of these things happens. So I wrote a song about our youth, a feeling that can’t be taken away from us. It’s the most important song on the album.”
