Shawn Mendes is one of four artists featured on different covers of the summer issue of Clash.
Zayn, Travis Scott and Jorja Smith also grace the UK magazine.
Sporting a Ralph Lauren suit and photographed by Paul Phung, Mendes was interviewed in London.
The 18-year-old Canadian pop star talked about his relationship with his fans and the impact the bombing in Manchester had on him.
Mendes also spoke about wanting a real career in music.
“I want to create anthems for people,” he said. “I want to create anthems for big moments in their lives.
“And not only that, I want to do incredible things that make a difference too. I think it’s not only about the music you release, it’s about the things you do while you’re making the music.”
Mendes brings his Illuminate Tour to Vancouver on July 8 followed by shows in Toronto on Aug. 11 and 12 and in Montreal on Aug. 14.
