Shawn Mendes on fame: 'I keep myself sane by thinking of this as fun'

Canadian singer-songwriter and musician Shawn Mendes was featured on Forbes magazine's 30 Under 30 and confessed that while international superstardom is often overwhelming, he tries to remain level-headed about it by telling himself that it's all just good fun. 

Speaking to Forbes about the moment he realised he was famous, the 'Stitches' hitmaker joked: "Maybe yesterday... Seriously, I'm 17... the way I keep myself sane is by thinking of it as fun."

BBC Radio 1 is currently running a competition that will close at 8am tomorrow morning (January 9) for one lucky fan and a friend to "meet Shawn Mendes and get to see him perform on his UK Tour". To enter the contest, head to BBC's Jan Slam page.
