Donald Glover, aka Childish Gambino, has been forced to pull the plug on his highly anticipated New World Tour due to unforeseen health issues. The tour was set to wrap up in the US before heading to Europe and the UK, but now fans will have to wait a bit longer for their chance to shine.

Glover initially postponed one of his shows in Houston to tend to some personal health matters, and later announced that he needed to focus on himself for a few weeks. He revealed that he would be undergoing surgery and would need time to recover before returning to the stage.

The Grammy-winning singer-songwriter kept mum about the specifics of his illness, but assured fans that he was taking his recovery seriously. Despite this setback, Glover expressed his gratitude to his fans for their love and support, which means the world to him.

The New World Tour wasn't just a concert series – it was also a swan song for Childish Gambino. In an interview with The New York Times earlier in the year, Glover revealed that he felt like the moniker had run its course and that he no longer needed to rely on it to build his career.

Fans who purchased tickets to the canceled shows will receive refunds at the point of purchase. Glover's team hasn't made any further comments on the situation.
