Donald Glover, widely known by his musical alias Childish Gambino, has canceled the remainder of his New World tour due to health concerns. Initially, Glover had postponed the North American leg of the tour in September, hoping to reschedule. However, after a recent hospital visit in Houston, he realized that his health required more serious attention.
In a statement, Glover explained, “My path to recovery is something I need to confront seriously,” confirming that surgery is planned and that he will need time to heal. The decision has affected the entire tour, including the upcoming UK and European dates. Fans who purchased tickets will receive refunds at their point of purchase.
The New World tour was anticipated to be Glover’s farewell to the music scene as Childish Gambino, marking the end of an era that saw him rise to fame with hits like “This Is America.” Although he has not announced a timeline for his recovery, Glover expressed his deep gratitude to fans for their love, privacy, and support during this challenging time(
