Glover shared the cancelation on his social channels just before the weekend hit, after first postponing his Childish Gambino New World Tour in order to focus on his health, and recently being hospitalized in order to undergo surgery.


“After my show in New Orleans, I went to the hospital in Houston to make sure of an ailment that had become apparent,” Glover revealed in his statement. “After being assesed [sic], it became clear i would not perform that night, and after more tests, i could not perform the rest of the US tour in the time asked. As of now I have surgery scheduled and need time out to heal.”



Donald continues, “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 UK and European dates. Tickets will be refunded at point of purchase.”


Finally, he adds, “I want nothing more than to bring this show to the fans and perform. Until then, thanks for love, privacy, and support.”



At this time is no word regarding when Gambino's dates -- in celebration of his latest album, Bando Stone and the New World, a forthcoming film of the same name, and a re-release of his leaked 3.15.2020 album retitled ATAVISTA -- will be rescheduled,
