Donald Glover Opens Up About A Stroke He Had On Childish Gambino’s 2024 Tour

<span>Donald Glover</span>, who formerly performed under the stage name of <span>Childish Gambino</span> revealed that he had a <span>stroke</span> last year due to which he had to cancel his world tour date. Now, 42, he said he is dealing with an "ailment", after the New Orleans performance. He revealed that after that performance, he had gone to hospital in Houston, where he discovered that his condition required surgery. 

As a result, he postponed his tour, which eventually was cancelled. This tour was remainder of his US tour and his UK, European, and Australian tour dates. He wrote: "Unfortunately, my path to recovery is taking longer than expected." 

While performing at Tyler, the Creator’s <span>Camp Flog Gnaw</span> festival in Los Angeles on Saturday, Glover shared the real reason behind his sudden tour halt.

“I was doing this world tour … really loving seeing you guys,” he said, as reported in <em>Guardian</em>. “I had a really bad pain in my head in Louisiana and did the show anyway. I couldn’t really see well, so when we went to Houston, I went to the hospital and the doctor was like, ‘You had a stroke.’”

He joked that his first thought was, “Here I am still copying Jamie Foxx,” referencing Foxx’s 2023 stroke, before admitting his immediate fear was that he was letting fans down—though he knows that isn’t true.

Glover added that doctors also found he had a broken foot and a hole in his heart, which required two surgeries.

“They say everybody has two lives, and the second starts when you realize you only have one,” he told the crowd. “You’ve got one life, guys, and the life I’ve lived with you has been such a blessing.”

Glover, a five-time Grammy winner, has since retired the Childish Gambino moniker after releasing his final album, Bando Stone &amp; the New World. The cancelled tour had been planned as his farewell to the stage name.

When you have a stroke, the blood supply to part of your brain is interrupted. This cause brain cells to die from a lack of oxygen and nutrients. This could also lead to lasting brain damage, long-term disability, or even death. 

<h2>What Does It Mean To Have A <span rel="noindex">Hole In Heart</span>?</h2>

As per Cleveland Clinic, hole in heart means to have an atrial septal defect or ASD, which is an opening in the wall that separates the heart's chambers. While some small holes may close on their own and have no symptoms, larger holes can cause blood to mix between oxygenated and deoxygenated sides, forcing the heart to work harder and potentially leading to health issues like shortness of breath. Treatment options range from monitoring to surgery or minimally invasive procedures, depending on the size and severity of the defect.
