Donald Glover has canceled the remainder of his Childish Gambino concert tour in North America and Europe, saying he has surgery scheduled and needs “time out to heal.”
The news comes after Glover previously postponed the remaining North American dates on the tour — which has been touted as the “final” Childish Gambino tour, as Glover plans to retire the moniker.
“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. As of now I have surgery scheduled and need time out to heal,” Glover wrote on X.
He added, “My path to recovery is something I need to confront seriously. With that said, we have made the difficult decision to cancel the remainder of the North American tour and the U.K. and European dates. Tickets will be refunded at point of purchase. I want nothing more than to bring this show to the fans and perform. Until then, thanks for love, privacy, and support.”
Glover did not disclose the reason for his hospitalization, nor the details of his planned surgery. While he specifically canceled the tour dates in North America, the U.K. and the rest of Europe, he did not mention whether his concerts in New Zealand and Australia, in January and February 2025, would be affected.
