Donald Glover Cancels Tour for Health Reasons

Donald Glover, also known as Childish Gambino, has canceled the remaining dates of his North American and European tour due to health concerns requiring surgery. Following his performance in New Orleans on September 7, Glover sought medical tests leading to the cancellation of a planned Houston show. In a statement on social media, he refrained from providing specific details about his condition, describing his "path to recovery" as something to take "seriously."

The canceled tour, titled "The New World Tour," marked Childish Gambino's first return to live performances since 2019. It commenced on August 11 in Oklahoma City and was slated to visit major North American cities before heading to Europe, the UK, New Zealand, and Australia into early 2025. The abrupt halt affects over 30 venues across these regions. Glover assured ticketholders that refunds would be issued.

Despite the disappointing news, Glover expressed his dedication to his supporters, stating, "I want nothing more than to bring this show to the fans and perform." He thanked his audience for their understanding during this challenging period, and emphasized the need for "love, privacy, and support" as he focuses on healing.
