Donald Glover Postpones Childish Gambino Shows to “Focus on My Physical Health”

As a long-time fan who has followed Childish Gambino‘s journey since his humble beginnings, it’s both heartening and a little disheartening to see Donald Glover prioritizing his health over his tour dates. It’s heartening because it shows the man behind the music is as human as we are, prone to illnesses and needing rest. But it’s disheartening because I was looking forward to seeing him live one more time before he hangs up the Childish Gambino moniker for good.


On Monday, Donald Glover announced a delay for the rest of his Childish Gambino North American tour, explaining he needed to prioritize his health. He assured fans that their tickets would still be valid for future shows.

Under his stage name Childish Gambino, artist Donald Glover announced that he must cancel all upcoming tour dates due to prioritizing his personal health for a short while. The North American leg of the New World tour, which has approximately a month left, concludes with a show in Austin, Texas on Tuesday, followed by performances extending until October 3rd.

In his announcement, Glover stated that the tickets will still be valid when the new dates are set. He ended by expressing gratitude to the fans for their understanding, backing, and affection.

On a Sunday, Glover postponed his concert in Houston because of an illness. He also mentioned that the original tickets would be valid for the rescheduled show, which has yet to be announced.

It’s uncertain if the international leg of Glover’s tour, set to start in November, will experience similar disruptions too.

The New World tour marks the concluding phase of Donald Glover’s work under Childish Gambino, as he announced earlier in the year. This tour encompasses his most recent album titled “Bando Stone and the New World.

He expressed to the New York Times that it was essentially as if he had said, ‘It’s completed,’. He found it unsatisfying and felt a strong urge that he no longer needed to construct things in the same manner.

He composed the script while simultaneously preparing for an upcoming film about a musician creating music on a secluded island.

He shared that he found a truly captivating voyage in an individual creating music without a clear objective. He believes this experience isn’t exclusive to artists; rather, it’s something many people grapple with – questioning the significance of their actions, whether it be artists or not.
