Childish Gambino abruptly cancels major tour date as star is ‘really upset’ and reveals reason in fuming statement
DONALD Glover, known by his stage name, Childish Gambino, has canceled tonight's The New World Tour stop just hours before the show.
The singer put out a statement on X on Saturday to explain his reasoning.
"Delivering a quality show that all of us @ GILGA can be proud of has remained paramount to us. A show I would be proud to bring to all the Childish Gambino fans across the world."
"This has created some challenges in some settings. due to production issues, tonight’s Childish Gambino concert @ Mohegan Sun must be canceled. Refunds will be issued at point of purchase," Childish went on.
"Personally, I'm really upset by this. I just met some fans in the lobby and a father who drove out w/ his daughter's bday and was trying to get a shoutout (happy birthday btw). The team is coming up w/ a way to make it up to fans, so we'll be in contact w/ everyone who bought a Mohegan Sun ticket."
"I know tickets, hotels, driving, all that isn't cheap, so we'll come up with something. Again, my deepest apologies," he ended.
Donald has two shows in Brooklyn at Barclays Center on August 26 and 27.
As of now, he has not indicated these shows or any others on his tour will be canceled.
“It’s not fulfilling. And I just felt like I didn’t need to build in this way anymore.”
“I’m not 25 anymore, standing in front of a boulder like, ‘This has to move,’” Donald said.
“You give what you can, but there’s beauty everywhere in every moment. You don’t have to build it. You don’t have to search for it.”

“When I put my son on my shoulders, I feel deep joy. That’s real. No one on their deathbed is going to look back and say, ‘Thank God I avoided being cringe'," Donald went on.
Under the moniker, which Donald adapted over 10 years ago, he released six studio albums and has won five Grammy Awards.
