Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Shawn Mendes took a moment to address his audience candidly during a concert in Colorado on Monday, telling fans that he’s still in the process of “figuring out” his sexuality, Page Six reports. During the Red Rocks Amphitheater stop-off on his For Friends and Family Only Tour, the 26-year-old pop star said, “I was really young when I started. I was 15 years old. The truth is that I didn’t get to do a lot of 15-year-old things and discover parts of myself that you do at 15.” He went on to say that public speculation about his sexual orientation has “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 it.”
