Tour Cancellation: Donald Glover Suffered Stroke and Heart Surgeries - Donald Glover reveals stroke, heart surgeries, and broken foot forced tour cancellation

Donald Glover, known by his stage name Childish Gambino, has revealed serious health struggles that forced him to cancel his New World Tour last year. Speaking for the first time at the Camp Flog Gnaw festival in Los Angeles, he described a stroke, heart surgeries, and a broken foot during a difficult period. The artist’s health crisis began while performing in Houston. There, he suffered a stroke on stage, leading to immediate medical attention. Soon after, doctors found a hole in his heart, requiring two separate surgeries to repair. Around the same time, Glover also broke his foot. His condition worsened as he experienced sudden, severe headaches and vision problems while touring. These complications left him with no choice but to abandon the remainder of his scheduled shows. At the Los Angeles festival, Glover stressed the importance of living life on his own terms after the ordeal. His remarks marked the first public acknowledgment of the health battles he had faced in private. The cancellation of Glover’s New World Tour came after a series of medical emergencies, including a stroke, heart procedures, and a fracture. His recent appearance confirmed the severity of his health issues and his determination to move forward.
