Donald Glover has canceled the remainder of Childish Gambino’s North American and European tour.
The musician, actor and “Atlanta” producer announced Friday that he recently discovered a disease that required surgery. After a performance in New Orleans on September 7, he was examined at a hospital and canceled a show in Houston the following night. In his notes to X, he did not elaborate on his condition.

“The road to recovery is one that must be faced seriously,” Glover wrote.
The ‘New World Tour’ is Childish Gambino’s first tour since 2019. It was scheduled to start in Oklahoma City on August 11 and tour major cities in North America before moving to Europe, the United Kingdom, New Zealand, and Australia by early 2025.
The cancellation affects more than 30 scheduled dates in North America, the UK and Europe. He said the ticket would be refunded.
“I want nothing more than to perform and put on this show for my fans,” Glover wrote. “Until then, we appreciate your love, privacy, and support.”
