Donald Glover Cancels Remainder of Final Childish Gambino Tour
The artist has scheduled surgery to treat an undisclosed ailment.
Update: It’s been nearly a month since Donald Glover took to X to share that he would be postponing the remainder of his final Childish Gambino tour. He went on to update fans on the platform yesterday, sharing that after his New Orleans show he was hospitalized in Houston to assess an ailment, which ultimately led to the postponing of the tour. After more testing, he realized that he could not continue the tour in time and had to schedule surgery. “My path to recovery is something I need to confront seriously.

He concluded that he does want to bring the show to fans eventually, but will have to take the time necessary to recover.
