Donald Glover cancels Childish Gambino tour over health concerns: ‘Need time out to heal’

“Recovery is something I need to confront seriously,” Donald Glover says, as he cancels the remainder of his Childish Gambino tour. The historic Emmy winner said he was hospitalized in Houston last month “to make sure of an ailment that had become apparent.” He continued: “After being assessed, it became clear that I would not perform that night, and after more tests, I could not perform the rest of the U.S. tour in the time asked.” In September, Glover postponed his New World tour — including several shows at Crypto.com Arena — “to focus on my physical health for a few weeks.” The “Community” actor was initially set to close out the North American leg of his tour earlier this week before heading overseas. Now, he says, “My path to recovery is something I need to confront seriously.” Glover, 41,did not disclose additional details about his health concerns in his Friday statement. The New World tour — his first since 2019 — was poised to be Glover’s final hurrah as his musical personal Childish Gambino, under which he broke into the music scene.
