Donald Glover has cancelled the remainder of his Childish Gambino tour due to a health issue.
The American actor, comedian, and singer was set 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 post on social media on Friday night, he said: “After my show in New Orleans, I went to the hospital in Houston to make sure of an ailment that had become apparent.
“After being assessed, it became clear I would not perform that night, and after more tests, I could not perform the rest of the US tour in the time asked.
“As of now I have surgery scheduled and need time out to heal.”
The star did not say what the surgery was for.

“My path to recovery is something I need to confront seriously,” he said.
“With that said, 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 love, privacy, and support,” he added.
Fans responded to his post on X by wishing him “a speedy recovery”, with those who had made it to the earlier shows of the tour saying 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.
