Donald Glover has canceled the remaining dates on Childish Gambino’s North American and European tour.
The musician, actor and “Atlanta” creator announced Friday that he was recently diagnosed with a condition that required surgery. After the New Orleans show on September 7th, he underwent tests at the hospital and canceled the following night’s show in Houston. In his notes on X, he did not elaborate on his condition.
“The road to recovery is something I need to take seriously,” Glover wrote.
“The New World Tour” is Childish Gambino’s first tour since 2019. The tour was scheduled to kick off in Oklahoma City on August 11th, hit a number of major cities in North America, and then move on to Europe, the United Kingdom, New Zealand, and Australia until early 2025.
The cancellation affects more than 30 scheduled dates in North America, the United Kingdom and Europe. Tickets will be refunded, he said.
“All I want is to bring this show to the fans and perform,” Glover wrote. “Until then, thank you for your love, privacy, and support.”
