Childish Gambino, also known as Donald Glover, took to social media to announce the unfortunate news that his highly anticipated “The New World Tour” had to be canceled, including the show at Austin’s Moody Center. This decision was made due to medical reasons, as Glover needed to focus on his health.
Initially, Glover had postponed the North American tour to prioritize his well-being and had plans to reschedule the shows, advising ticket holders to hold onto their tickets. However, in a recent social media post on October 4th, Glover revealed that the tour had to be canceled altogether.
Following a performance in New Orleans, Glover found himself in a Houston hospital undergoing tests for a health issue that had arisen. It was determined that he would not be able to continue with the tour due to the time constraints imposed by his condition.
Although the specifics of Glover’s health concerns were not disclosed, he did mention that surgery would be necessary. He requested privacy as he embarks on his journey to recovery, emphasizing the importance of taking his health seriously.
Glover expressed his desire to eventually bring the show to his fans and perform, but acknowledged that his current focus needed to be on healing. He extended his gratitude for the love, privacy, and support he has received during this challenging time.
For those who purchased tickets to the remaining tour dates, Glover assured that refunds would be issued. While fans may be disappointed by the cancellation, Glover’s health and well-being take precedence, and his supporters are encouraged to send him positive thoughts as he navigates this period of recovery.
