In 2022, Mendes shared a social media post that worried fans as he confessed that he “constantly feels like he’s either flying or sinking” and that after establishing his name in the industry, he Still it is hard to believe that it ‘didn’t fail’.
In 2022, Mendes embarked on his Wonder Tour but ultimately had to cancel it due to ‘pressure’ and the “toll of the road” and took some time to recover.
In 2023, during an interview with the Wall Street Journal, he admitted, “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”.
