Selena Gomez needed a break: Charlie Puth

Pop star Charlie Puth has applauded pal Selena Gomez for taking a break last year to focus on her health. 

The singers became friends while working on the collaboration ‘We Don’t Talk Anymore’, and he was as concerned as anyone when Gomez walked away from her world tour last year to tackle anxiety, panic attacks and depression linked to her lupus battle.

He’s also happy she took a much-needed break, reported MTV.

“I think it’s good and I think it’s great that she was taking some time off for herself, because I see it on a much smaller scale - people..., who are maybe not necessarily fans, seeing you as an object and shouting things at you,” he said. I think her taking some time off is a really good thing.
