Shawn Mendes made an emotional tribute to those affected or have lost loved ones to gun violence.
On Sunday, the singer, 19, performed his song “Youth” with Khalid at the Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas where 12 members of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School student choir joined them in honoring the 10 victims of Friday’s school shooting in Santa Fe, Texas.
“Pain but I won’t let it turn into hate/ I won’t let it change me/ You can’t take my youth away,” Mendes belted out.
While Mendes played guitar and Khalid wearing a “Protect our children” shirt, 12 members of the show choir, wearing “Youth” sweaters walked on stage to sing the chorus.
