Donald Glover has officially canceled the remainder of his Childish Gambino concert tour in North America and Europe due to health concerns. Glover shared the news on social media, stating he has surgery scheduled and requires “time out to heal.” This decision follows his earlier announcement to postpone the remaining North American dates of what has been billed as the final Childish Gambino tour.
According to Variety, Glover explained, “After my show in New Orleans, I went to the hospital in Houston to address an ailment that had become apparent. After being assessed, it was clear I could not perform that night, and further tests confirmed I could not continue the U.S. tour.”
Initially, the North American tour due had been postponed because of health reasons. He emphasized the importance of taking his recovery seriously, leading to the difficult choice to cancel the rest of the tour.
The tour cancellation impacts both North American and U.K. dates, but Glover did not clarify whether his upcoming shows in New Zealand and Australia in early 2025 would also be affected. Fans who purchased tickets will receive refunds at their point of purchase.
This tour was part of Glover’s ambitious project surrounding his latest album, Bando Stone and the New World, as well as a forthcoming film of the same name. It marks a significant moment as Glover intends to retire the Childish Gambino persona. Glover also participated in a recent collaborative music video for “Witchy” with Kaytranada.
