Donald Glover has canceled the remaining dates of Childish Gambino’s North American and European tour.

The musician, actor and creator of “Atlanta” announced Friday that he recently discovered a condition that requires surgery. After his show in New Orleans on September 7, he checked into a hospital and canceled a show in Houston the next evening. In a comment about X he did not elaborate on his condition.

“My road to recovery is something I need to address seriously,” Glover wrote.

“The New World Tour” is Childish Gambino’s first tour since 2019. The tour kicked off on August 11 in Oklahoma City and was scheduled to visit many major North American cities before heading to Europe, Great Britain, New Zealand and Australia in early 2025 moved.

The cancellation affects more than 30 scheduled dates in North America, the United Kingdom and Europe. Tickets, he said, will be refunded.

“I want nothing more than to bring this show to the fans and perform,” Glover wrote. “Until then, thank you for the love, privacy and support.”
