Donald Glover Says Stroke Led to 2024 Tour Cancellation at Camp Flog Gnaw

He told the festival crowd doctors later discovered a heart defect requiring two surgeries.

Overview

  • The revelation came during his Nov. 22 set at Tyler, the Creator’s Camp Flog Gnaw in Los Angeles, with clips circulating from an Amazon Music livestream.
  • He said a severe headache and impaired vision at a Louisiana show preceded a Houston hospital visit where a doctor told him he had a stroke.
  • Glover told fans he also broke his foot and that clinicians found a hole in his heart, leading to one operation followed by a second procedure.
  • The health crisis explains why he postponed, then canceled, the remaining dates of The New World Tour in 2024 after about 18 shows, following a statement on X about surgery and recovery.
  • Representatives for Glover did not immediately provide further medical details in response to requests for comment.
