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

The musician, actor and 鈥淎tlanta鈥 creator announced on Friday that he recently discovered an ailment that required surgery. After his New Orleans show on Sept. 7, he sought tests at a hospital and canceled a Houston show the following night. In a note on X, he did not elaborate on his condition.

鈥淢y path to recovery is something I need to confront seriously,鈥 Glover wrote, adding that he needed 鈥渢ime out to heal.鈥

鈥淭he New World Tour鈥 is Childish Gambino鈥檚 first tour since 2019. The run began on Aug. 11 in Oklahoma City and was to hit many major North American cities before moving to Europe, the U.K., New Zealand and Australia into early 2025.

The cancellation affects over 30 scheduled dates in North America, the U.K. and Europe. Tickets, he said, will be refunded.

鈥淚 want nothing more than to bring this show to the fans and perform,鈥 Glover wrote. 鈥淯ntil then, thanks for love, privacy, and support.鈥
