After a few years off the road, I felt like was ready to dive back in, but that decision was premature and unfortunately the toll of the road and the pressure has caught up to me and I\u2019ve hit a breaking point.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cAfter speaking with my team and health professionals, I need to take some time to heal and take care of myself and my mental health, first and foremost. As soon as there are more updates I promise I will let you know.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The North American leg of the \u2018Wonder\u2019 tour will resume in Toronto on Sunday July 31.
