Selena Gomez cancels tour

Selena Gomez has cancelled the remainder of her world tour and is taking a break from the spotlight due to anxiety, depression and panic attacks, she has revealed.

The Revival tour was planned to end in Guadalajara, Mexico, in December this year, but it was confirmed in a statement that the singer wouldn’t be carrying on.

She said: “I want to be proactive and focus on maintaining my health and happiness, and have decided that the best way forward is to take some time off.

“Thank you to all my fans for your support. You know how special you are to me, but I need to face this head on to ensure I am doing everything possible to be my best.

“I know I am not alone by sharing this, I hope others will be encouraged to address their own issues.”
