Shawn Mendes recently talked about his sexuality at a concert.
The Canadian singer-songwriter opened up to his fans during Tuesday's concert at the Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Colorado.
“Since I was really young, there's been this thing about my sexuality, and people have been talking about it for so long,” Mendes said.
“I think it's kind of silly, because I think sexuality is such a beautifully complex thing, and it's so hard to just put into boxes. It always felt like such an intrusion on something very personal to me, something that I was figuring out in myself, something that I had yet to discover, and still have yet to discover.”
"The real truth about my life and my sexuality is that, man, I'm just figuring it out like everyone. I don't really know sometimes, and I know other times. And it feels really scary because we live in a society that has a lot to say about that,” Mendes continued telling his fans. “I'm trying to be really brave and just allow myself to be a human and feel things. And that's all I really want to say about that for now.”
Mendes has dated singer Camila Cabello on and off over the years and was also linked to Hailey Bieber in the past.
He is set to release his self-titled LP "Shawn" on November 15.
“The real truth about my life and sexuality is that, man I'm just figuring it out like everyone. I don't really know sometimes and I know other times. It feels really scary because we live in a society that has a lot to say about that.”
