Donald Glover Says Stroke Forced 2024 Tour Halt as Doctors Found Heart Defect

The revelation replaced last year’s vague “ailment” explanation for canceling The New World Tour.

Overview

  • Glover disclosed the details on Nov. 22 at Tyler, The Creator’s Camp Flog Gnaw in Los Angeles during his return to the stage.
  • He recounted severe head pain at a Louisiana show before a Houston hospital informed him he had suffered a stroke.
  • Doctors later discovered a hole in his heart, prompting two surgeries, and he said he also broke his foot during the ordeal.
  • The New World Tour was first postponed in September 2024 and then canceled the next month after only 18 performances, affecting North America, Europe, the UK and Australasia.
  • He has not announced new tour plans, and outlets reported no immediate additional details from his representatives.
