Childish Gambino tour dates have been canceled after Donald Glover was hospitalized

Donald Glover has canceled the remainder of his Childish Gambino concert tour in North America and Europe, saying he is scheduled for surgery and needs “time off to heal.”

The news comes after Glover previously postponed the remaining North American dates of the tour – which was billed 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 confirm that I had an obvious medical condition. After the assessment it became clear that I would not be performing that evening, and after further testing I was unable to complete the remainder of the US tour in the required time. “Right now I'm scheduled for surgery and need some time off to heal,” Glover wrote on X.

He added: “My journey to recovery is something I need to seriously address. With this in mind, we have made the difficult decision to cancel the remainder of the North American tour, as well as the UK and European dates. Tickets will be refunded upon purchase. I want nothing more than to bring this show to the fans and perform. Until then, thank you for the love, privacy and support.”

Glover did not disclose the reason for his hospitalization or the details of his planned surgery. While he specifically canceled tour dates in North America, the UK 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.

The “New World” tour was part of Glover's Childish Gambino persona's self-proclaimed “final” project, which includes his latest album “Bando Stone and the New World,” an upcoming film of the same name and a re-release of the album “3.15.2020 ” from the pandemic era (retitled “Atavista”).
