“Figure it out like everyone else.”

During the performance at When Shawn Mendes performed at the historic Red Rocks Amphitheater for his “For Friends and Family Tour” on Monday night, he opened up about his sexuality and spoke directly to his fans during the intimate moment.

“I was still very young when I started. I was 15 years old,” the singer-songwriter said from the stage. “The truth is that as a 15-year-old I didn’t get to do a lot of the things and explore parts of myself that you do when you’re 15.”

“There's this thing about my sexuality and people have been talking about it for so long,” he added, saying it's “kind of silly because I think sexuality is such a beautiful, complex thing and it's so hard “To just put them in drawers.”

“It always felt to me like an intrusion into something very personal. Something I discovered within myself, something I hadn't yet discovered and still have yet to discover,” he continued. “The real truth about my life and my sexuality is that like everyone else, I'm just figuring it out. And it feels really scary because we live in a society that has a lot to say about it. And I try to be really brave and just allow myself to be human and feel things. And that’s all I really want to say about it right now.”
