Famed American musician, actor, and the icon behind Troy Barnes from Community, Donald Glover, has recently revealed that he suffered from a stroke late last year. Donald Glover, who goes by the musical stage name Childish Gambino, shared that during a show in Louisiana he “had a really bad pain in my head”. He continued on to finish the show but shortly after felt that he was having problems with his vision and was promptly taken to the hospital.

Upon arriving to the hospital the Doctor revealed to him that he had suffered from a stroke. This resulted in Glover cancelling his New World tour that had only just begun, only sharing at the time that he had an ailment to focus on recovering from. The New World tour was set to fly down under in January of 2025 but was obviously cancelled after this news. Glover shared this news during a show with Tyler, The Creator this past weekend.

“You got one life, guys, and I gotta be honest, the life I’ve lived with you guys has been such a blessing,” – Donald Glover
