The American singer, comedian, and actor was scheduled to tour Dublin, Ireland, as well as Manchester, Glasgow, London, and Birmingham in November and early December.
Months earlier, he had already decided to put his “physical health” first and postpone the rest of his North American trip.
“After my show in New Orleans, I went to the hospital in Houston to make sure of an ailment that had become apparent,” he wrote in a social media post on Friday night.
“It became evident after my assessment that I would not perform that evening, and additional testing revealed that I could not perform the remainder of this.
Having stated that, we have decided to postpone the remaining dates of the North American tour as well as the UK and Europe. This was a difficult decision to make. Refunds for tickets will be made at the time of purchase.
All I want is to perform and offer this show to the audience. He continued, “Until then, thanks for support, love, and privacy.”
Those who had managed to attend the previous dates of the tour commented on how “lucky” they were, while others wished him “a speedy recovery” in response to his post on X.
Under the stage name Childish Gambino, the 41-year-old Emmy and Grammy winner also directs, writes, produces, and DJs.
