Childish Gambino gets a stay of execution as Donald Glover postpones tour for health reasons

As a cinephile with a penchant for all things music and a keen eye for spotting promising talents, I must say that Donald Glover’s decision to postpone his final tour as Childish Gambino is undoubtedly a setback for us fans. However, it’s always heartening to see artists prioritizing their health over work commitments – after all, we want them around for the long haul!


Donald Glover, known also as Childish Gambino, has delayed the upcoming performances on his last tour due to health concerns.

As I pen this review, I regretfully need to push back the remainder of my North American tour. The reason being, I’m prioritizing my health at the moment and will be doing so for a couple of weeks. This decision wasn’t made lightly, but I believe it’s necessary to ensure I’m in top form when I return.

Childish Gambino (age 40), famous for hits like “Redbone” and “This Is America,” urged fans to keep their New World Tour tickets safe, assuring them that they will still be valid for upcoming North American dates once the shows are rescheduled. He did not disclose his health condition, but expressed gratitude for privacy, support, and love from his fans.

Representatives for Glover did not immediately respond Tuesday to The Times’ requests for comment.

The delay in the tour is following the announcement that “Community” alumnus and “Atlanta” actor, who was supposed to perform in Houston on Sunday, has postponed his show due to sickness. Earlier, he had rescheduled an August concert due to technical difficulties with the production.

Dear all,

Glover launched the tour on August 11th in Oklahoma, with performances at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles set for September 18th and 19th. The North American segment was intended to conclude in Chicago on October 3rd, following which he planned to travel to Europe in November, Australia and New Zealand by the end of the year, and finally wrapping up in February 2025. It’s uncertain if his overseas shows will be impacted; as of this morning, they are still listed on Childish Gambino’s website.

The multi-award-winning celebrity (Grammy and Emmy) concluded his music career as Childish Gambino by releasing his last album titled “Bando Stone & the New World” in July. In an interview with the New York Times in June, he explained that he was stepping away from his musical identity because it no longer brought him satisfaction.

He expressed that he no longer felt compelled to continue creating music under his former persona, he explained.

In May, the creator of “Swarm” and star of the TV-series “Mr. & Mrs. Smith” released an updated version of his 2020 album titled “3.15.20,” which he referred to as the completed edition of his fourth studio album, known as “Atavista.” This was also when he unveiled plans for his New World Tour, marking his first tour since 2019.

The concert tour was additionally promoting the soundtrack for the unpublished movie “Bando Stone,” a production that he both directed and acted in. This versatile artist has hinted that the film’s release date is uncertain, stating only that he intends to debut it when the timing seems perfect.
