Childish Gambino, the stage name of Donald Glover, has had to cancel the Australian and New Zealand leg of his world tour, which was originally set for January and February 2025. The cancellation comes as he continues to recover from surgery following a series of health issues that caused him to postpone his North American, U.K., and European dates earlier in the year.
In a statement to his fans, Glover expressed his regret, explaining, “Unfortunately, my path to recovery is taking longer than expected,” and assured fans that he was disappointed to let them down. He expressed his gratitude for their support and promised to deliver an exceptional performance when the time is right.
This is just the latest setback in a year of challenges for Glover’s tour, which was originally launched in August but had to be put on hold. Glover has also announced that he plans to retire his Childish Gambino alter ego, signaling a shift in his career. Fans will have to wait for a new opportunity to see him live in concert as he focuses on his recovery and future plans.
