Donald Glover Postpones North American Childish Gambino Tour Dates to ‘Focus on My Physical Health’
Fans in North America are going to have to wait a little bit longer to say goodbye to Childish Gambino.
On Monday (Sept. 9), Donald Glover announced that he’s pushing back the remainder of his North American farewell tour dates in order to prioritize his wellbeing. “hey everyone,” he tweeted. “unfortunately i have to postpone the rest of the north american tour to focus on my physical health for a few weeks.”
“hold onto your tickets,” the Community alum continued. “ALL tickets will be honored for the upcoming dates in north america when they are rescheduled. thanks for the privacy. thanks for the support. thanks for the love.”
Glover had about a month left to go of his North American run, which was set to conclude Oct. 3 in Chicago before the “Redbone” artist’s European dates this fall. He’s also still scheduled to perform in Australia and New Zealand next year.

The trek was plotted in support of Glover’s latest album Bando Stone and the New World, which debuted at No. 16 on the Billboard 200 in August and marks the musician’s final LP under the Childish Gambino moniker. “It really was just like, ‘Oh, it’s done.’ It’s not fulfilling,” he explained to the New York Times in July. “And I just felt like I didn’t need to build in this way anymore.”
The five-time Grammy winner is also still hard at work in his acting career, having recently picked up Emmy nods for outstanding lead actor in a drama series and outstanding writing for a drama series thanks to Mr. & Mrs. Smith. He previously won the Emmy for outstanding lead actor in a comedy series for his performance in Atlanta.
