Donald Glover Reveals Stroke Caused Him To Cancel Childish Gambino Tour Last Year
Donald Glover just revealed the “ailment” that forced him to cancel his tour last year was far more serious than anyone knew. While performing at Tyler, the Creator’s Camp Flog Gnaw festival, Glover told the crowd he’d actually suffered a stroke. He explained the whole thing started in Louisiana, when he had severe head pain and blurred vision but still did the show. By the time he reached Houston, he checked into a hospital — and that’s when doctors told him he’d had a stroke. They also discovered a hole in his heart, which led to two surgeries. Glover said he felt guilty canceling shows and joked he still hasn’t made it to Ireland. He also shared a reflective message: that people get “two lives,” and the second begins when you realize you only have one. Last year, he canceled multiple North American and European dates but never disclosed the cause, only calling it an “ailment” that required surgery and recovery time.
