Shawn Mendes on the decision that upset his mother: 'She's really unhappy'

Canadian singer-songwriter Shawn Mendes has revealed his desire to move out of his childhood home is breaking his mother's heart.

During a new interview with Elvis Duran, the young sensation opened up about his moving plans and confessed that his mother isn't too happy with what he wants to do:

"Yeah, she's upset about it. I'm 17... I think it's different. I'm not actually going into high school every day, I feel like I've been working... I live with adults so I feel like I'm ready to move out and do my own thing, and she's really unhappy about that."

Duran then asked if this situation is "breaking your mother's heart" and he admitted that it is, adding:

"I said, "mom, I'll Facetime you a lot," and she said "I just won't pick up if you move out, I just wont." I love her. I said, "no, listen. Every night I'm going to Facetime you to make dinner with me," she should be happy with that, right?! In a sense I'm away more than I'm home, anyway, so I feel like I've already left the nest. I go back..."
