Shawn Mendes has opened up about his mental health struggles and also reveals he prefers to feel ‘f**ked up’ in order to write music.
The 22-year-old Canadian superstar has released four albums since bursting on to the music scene in 2014 – with all four hitting the top of the charts in his native country and in the USA.
But writing music can be tricky for the Treat You Better hitmaker as he feels he needs to reach a ‘place of angst’ in order to create his best work.
Shawn, who is an ambassador for the meditation app Calm which aims to help subscribers reduce anxiety, opened up about his metal health during a new magazine interview.
