Doctor’s Orders. On Saturday, November 30th, Shawn Mendes has called off his São Paulo, Brazil, concert due to illness. The singer-songwriter had been diagnosed with laryngitis and a sinus infection and was unable to perform Saturday night.
Mendes’ next tour date is currently scheduled for December 3rd in Rio de Janeiro.
The superstar took to social media to break the news to his South American fans. “São Paulo, im so so sorry to have to tell you this, but today I woke up feeling ill, and went to the doctor, to find out I have laryngitis and a sinus infection which has caused swelling of my vocal cords.. It breaks my heart to do this but my doctors told me I can not perform tonight or it would risk long term damage to my voice. I love you all so much and apologize from the bottom of my heart as I wish I could be there on stage tonight. I promise I will make it up to you next time I’m back in South America. Te Amo.”
“Im so sorry,” he added in social media post.
