Some fans of Donald Glover will have to wait a little longer to see him live.
The musician, actor and comedian who raps under the name Childish Gambino has postponed the remaining North American dates of his ongoing The New World Tour to focus on his “physical health.”
“Hey everyone. Unfortunately I have to postpone the rest of the North American tour to focus on my physical health for a few weeks,” Glover, 40, wrote on X (formerly Twitter), advising his fans to “hold on to your tickets.”
The Mr and Mrs Smith Star continued, “ALL tickets for the upcoming North American dates will remain valid if they are rescheduled. Thank you for the privacy. Thank you for the support. Thank you for the love.”
The New World Tour kicked off on August 11 at the Paycom Center in Oklahoma and since then he has performed shows in cities such as Milwaukee, Detroit, Toronto, Philadelphia, Boston, New York City, Nashville, Atlanta and New Orleans.
Glover had previously postponed his September 8 show at the Toyota Center in Houston “due to illness.”
