Donald Glover, who performs music as Childish Gambino, has announced the remaining North American and European shows on his tour will be canceled as he battles a health issue that will require surgery.
“After my show in New Orleans, I went to the hospital in Houston to make sure of an ailment that had become apparent. After being assessed, it became clear I would not perform that night, and after more tests, I could not perform the rest of the U.S. tour in the time asked,” Glover wrote Friday on X. “As of now I have surgery scheduled and need time out to heal.”

Glover did not share any more details about the illness that hospitalized him or his planned surgery. In early September, Glover postponed the final 15 dates of his North American tour to focus on his health.
The “Atlanta” and “Community” actor had touted his “New World” tour as part of his final project using the Childish Gambino stage persona, along with his latest album and a film, both titled “Bando Stone and the New World,” and the retitled “Atavista,” a reworked version of his “3.15.2020” album.
Tickets for the now-canceled dates will be refunded at the point of purchase. Glover did not say whether concerts scheduled in New Zealand and Australia in January and February of 2025 would be canceled.
“My path to recovery is something I need to confront seriously,” Glover added on X. “I want nothing more than to bring this show to the fans and perform. Until then, thanks for love, privacy, and support.”
