Childish Gambino star Donald Glover reveals he had a stroke on tour in 2024.
In an unexpected move during a live performance at Tyler, the Creator's Camp Flog Gnaw festival in Los Angeles, Donald Glover shared a shocking revelation with his audience. The 42-year-old singer, songwriter, and actor revealed that he had suffered a stroke just days before the show. Despite experiencing severe pain in his head while performing in Louisiana, Glover chose to continue with the tour, not realizing the severity of his condition until after the performance.
Glover described the experience as a "really bad pain in my head" which prompted him to seek medical attention in Houston, where he was diagnosed with a stroke. He joked about comparing himself to actor Jamie Foxx, who had also suffered a similar incident in 2023. Glover also revealed that during his recovery process, doctors discovered two more issues - a broken foot and a hole in his heart.
The revelation has raised concerns among fans about the safety of the tour and Glover's well-being. The singer has since retired his Childish Gambino stage name after releasing his final album, Bando Stone & the New World. The world tour was intended to be Glover's farewell to the project he created under that moniker.
In a poignant moment during his performance, Glover expressed gratitude for the fans who have supported him throughout his journey, stating, "They say everybody has two lives and the second life starts when you realise you have one." He also revealed that the experience had been a blessing in disguise, allowing him to re-evaluate his priorities and focus on the life he's lived with his fans.
