After recently confirming that he was hospitalized in September, Donald Glover has cancelled his upcoming Childish Gambino tour.
Performing under his Childish Gambino alter ego moniker, the superstar singer/songwriter/actor took to social media on Friday (10.04,) with:
“After my show in New Orleans, I went to the hospital in Houston to make sure of an ailment that had become apparent,” he wrote on his social media platforms on 4 October. “After being assessed, 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. 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.”
Before announcing his plan to retire Childish Gambino (citing declining album sales and increasing acting commitments,) earlier this year, the Grammy award winner released his fifth – and supposedly last – LP, Bando Stone & the New World.
In a July interview with the New York Times, the now 41-year old entertainer said “It really was just like, ‘Oh, it’s done,'” he told the New York Times in July. “It’s not fulfilling. And I just felt like I didn’t need to build in this way anymore.”
