“This breaks my heart to have to say this, but unfortunately I’m going to have to postpone the next three weeks of shows through Uncasville, CT until further notice,” Shawn shared on social media. “I’ve been touring since I was 15 and to be honest it’s always been difficult to be on the road away from friends and family.”

“After a few years off the road, I felt like I was ready to dive back in, but that decision was premature and unfortunately the toll of the road and the pressure has caught up to me and Ive hit a breaking point,” he continued.

“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. As soon as there are more updates I promise I will let you know,” Shawn said. “love you guys ❤️”

The singer kicked off his tour just last week in Portland, Oregon. See photos and the set list.

The postponed dates are most of the Leg 1 dates, with only five dates remaining after Uncasville in August.

Earlier this week, it was announced that Shawn had teamed up with Disney+ as a sponsor for the tour.
