Childish Gambino is officially canceling his new world tour, which he paused last month to “focus on… [his] Physical health.” In a new post today, on Channel After further testing, I was unable to perform the rest of the US tour in the required time. As of now, I have surgery scheduled and need time to recover.
Childish Gambino will issue refunds for unfulfilled offers. The musician last performed on September 7, at the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans, and canceled North American shows that were scheduled to take place between September 8 and October 2. He was scheduled to begin the European leg of his tour on October 31 and stay on the continent until December 5. Pitchfork has reached out to Childish Gambino’s representatives regarding the status of the January and February 2025 concerts in Oceania.
Childish Gambino:
After my show in New Orleans, I went to the hospital in Houston to check on the illness that had become apparent. After the evaluation, it became clear that I would not be performing that night, and after further testing, I was unable to perform the rest of the US tour in the required time. As of now, I have surgery scheduled and need time to heal.
My path to recovery is something I have to face seriously. However, we have made the difficult decision to cancel the remainder of the North American tour and the UK and European dates. Tickets will be refunded at the point of purchase.
I want nothing more than to bring this show to the fans and perform. Until then, thanks for the love, privacy and support.
