Childish Gambino Cancels Australia & New Zealand Tour, Proving Even Geniuses Need a Nap Sometimes

Buy Me A Coffee

Childish Gambino (a.k.a. Donald Glover, a.k.a. “guy who does everything better than most humans”) has canceled yet another leg of his world tour. Apparently, being a creative powerhouse isn’t immune to the occasional betrayal by the human body.

At a seasoned 41 years old (basically ancient in rapper years but still spry for an actor), Donald launched his tour back in August, probably thinking, Hey, what could go wrong? Well, life said, Everything. By October, after postponing an entire monthโ€™s worth of dates due to illness, he announced the whole North America, U.K., and Europe leg was toast because… drumroll… surgery. Thatโ€™s rightโ€”this man wasnโ€™t just dealing with a bad cold; his body staged a mutiny that required the scalpel.

Fast-forward to this week, when Donald hit fans with yet another bombshell: the Australian and New Zealand tour dates for January and February 2025? Yeah, theyโ€™re canceled too. If youโ€™re Down Under, you can officially trade your concert tickets for a tub of ice cream and a sob fest.

In a heartfelt statementโ€”delivered via triple J because why not make this sound coolerโ€”Donald explained, โ€œUnfortunately, my path to recovery is taking longer than expected.โ€ Translation: โ€œMy body is still acting like a diva, and I canโ€™t hit the stage until it stops.โ€

He went on to say, โ€œOne of the last things Iโ€™d ever want to do is disappoint my fans,โ€ which is probably true unless those fans are trying to ask him about Lando Calrissian projects mid-surgery. Donald also promised to deliver โ€œan exceptional experienceโ€ when the time is right, meaning heโ€™s planning to come back bigger and better, possibly with a lightsaber or a fresh rap about how recovery sucks but humility builds character.

So, for now, Gambino fans, pop on Awaken, My Love! and manifest good vibes for Donaldโ€™s recovery. After all, itโ€™s not every day you cancel an entire continentโ€™s worth of concerts and still manage to sound like the classiest dude in the room.
