Shawn Mendes<\/a> made his return to the stage for a surprise performance with <\/span>Niall Horan<\/a> in London over the weekend.<\/span><\/p>\n

Horan, 30, was playing a stop on The Show: Live on Tour, and shocked fans when he called on the “Stitches” artist to join him.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Welcome to the stage, my little big brother, Shawn Mendes,” Horan declared as the audience went absolutely wild over the unexpected guest.<\/span><\/p>\n

Together, the pair performed a duet rendition of Mendes’ hit single “Treat You Better,” and Horan celebrated the appearance with a hearty “That\u2019s my boy!” as Mendes exited after the number.<\/span><\/p>\n

Horan <\/span>shared a video of the surprise appearance<\/a>\u00a0on Instagram on Saturday, writing, “Night Eight London. Thank you to the wonderful @shawnmendes for joining me on stage last night.”<\/span><\/p>\n

This is the first live performance for Mendes in over nine months, when he made another surprise appearance during a stop on Ed Sheeran’s Multiplication Tour in Toronto in June 2023.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mendes — who <\/span>cancelled his planned world tour in 2022 to focus on his own mental health<\/a> and wellbeing — took to Instagram in January to share reflections on his personal growth over the past year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/i>25-year-old “Wonder” singer <\/span>posted a video of himself singing along to a harmonium<\/a> and expressed how this practice helped him cope with anxiety and fear. Mendes revealed that allowing himself to sing without the need for perfection became a source of comfort, emphasizing the beauty in the interplay between “right” and “wrong” notes.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I realized there were only moments of bliss and euphoria from the ‘right’ notes BECAUSE of the ‘wrong’ notes,” he wrote on Instagram. “The only reason I can sing in key is because I’ve learned to listen.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Mendes also shared that his most significant lesson in 2023 was “to accept and welcome the lows of life” and not constantly seek change to regain a sense of high.<\/span><\/p>\n
