Shawn Mendes said that he is “figuring out” his sexuality during his concert in Denver on Monday, according to video footage shared by fans on social media.

The singer said that he had been unable to “discover” certain parts of himself because he began working at such a young age.

“I think it’s kind of silly because I think sexuality is such a beautifully complex thing and its so hard to just put into boxes,” he said during his show, which took place at Red Rocks Amphitheatre. “And it always felt like such an intrusion on something very personal to me.”

Representatives for Mendes did not immediately respond to a request for comment Tuesday.

Mendes made the remarks before performing his unreleased song “The Mountain,” which features lyrics referencing the speculation over his sexuality.
