**LOS ANGELES -** Childish Gambino, the musical alias of actor and comedian Donald Glover, has announced the cancellation of the remaining dates of his North American, UK, and European tour. The decision comes after Glover underwent medical tests following a performance in New Orleans, revealing a need for surgery and time to recover.

The tour, which kicked off on August 11th, was intended to support Glover’s latest album, “Bando Stone and The New World,” released earlier this year. This album marked the final release under the Childish Gambino moniker, as Glover announced his intention to retire the alias.

In a statement posted to social media, Glover explained that he went to the hospital in Houston following his New Orleans performance and was diagnosed with an ailment requiring surgery. He stated, “My path to recovery is something I need to confront seriously.”

Glover’s decision to cancel the tour comes as a disappointment to fans, but he expressed his desire to return to performing, writing, “I want nothing more than to bring this show to the fans and perform. Until then, thanks for love, privacy, and support.”

The Australian and New Zealand leg of the tour, scheduled to begin on January 28th in Auckland, remains unaffected by the cancellation.

Fans who purchased tickets for the cancelled shows will receive refunds at the point of purchase.
