Donald Glover Says He Was Diagnosed With a Stroke and Later Had Two Heart Surgeries

He revealed the diagnosis onstage at Camp Flog Gnaw to explain why last year's tour was canceled.

Overview

  • Glover recounted a severe headache in Louisiana and blurred vision before seeking care in Houston, where a doctor told him he had suffered a stroke.
  • Subsequent tests, he said, found a hole in his heart, leading to two surgeries.
  • He shared the details during a set at Tyler, the Creator’s Camp Flog Gnaw festival in Los Angeles, and clips circulated widely on social media.
  • His representatives have not responded to requests for comment on his health or recovery plans.
  • The festival appearance marked one of his first public performances since the canceled tour, with his return-to-stage timeline still unclear.
