MANILA, Philippines — Canadian pop heartthrob Shawn Mendes delivered on his promise to return to the Philippines and showcase his new music via a Manila concert made possible by promoter MMI Live.
The 21-year-old pop star performed at the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City Thursday night for the Manila leg of his second world tour.
The "
Señorita" singer first came to Manila in 2017 as part of his "Illuminate" world tour, where he promised his fans to "come back soon."
"Manila I adore you," Shawn said on Instagram and Twitter shortly after his Manila show ended.
The Grammy-nominated singer opened his Manila show with "Lost in Japan," one
of the hits from his self-titled third album, followed by "There's Nothing Holdin' Me Back."
By the second half of the show, Shawn literally came closer to his fans as he went down to a smaller stage on the center of the arena to play the piano, where a giant rose stood.
