Donald Glover has canceled the remainder of his Childish Gambino tour due to a health issue.
The American actor, comedian and singer was due to head to the UK in November and early December to perform in Manchester, Glasgow, London and Birmingham, as well as Dublin in Ireland.
He had already postponed the remainder of his North American tour last month to focus on his “physical health”.
In a social media post Friday night, he said: “After my show in New Orleans, I went to the hospital in Houston to check on an illness that had become apparent.
“After I was assessed it became clear that I would not perform tonight and after further tests I was unable to perform the rest of the US tour in the requested time.
“I currently have surgery scheduled and need time to heal.”
The star did not say what the operation was for.
“My road to recovery is something I have to face seriously,” he said.
“Having said that, 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 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,” he added.
Fans responded to his post on X, wishing him a “speedy recovery” and those who made it to the earlier shows of the tour said how “lucky” they were.
The 41-year-old Emmy and Grammy winner, who performs under the stage name Donald Glover, also directs, writes, produces and DJs.
His political single, This Is America, which sparked debate about gun violence in the US, reached number 6 in the UK charts in 2018.
