Los Angeles, CA – Donald Glover, the multi-talented artist known by his musical alter ego Childish Gambino, recently shared a startling revelation with fans about a serious health scare that led to the cancellation of his tour last year. What was previously described as an “ailment” has now been confirmed by Glover himself to have been a stroke.
Glover, 42, made the announcement during his performance at Tyler, the Creator’s Camp Flog Gnaw festival in Los Angeles on Saturday night, with his candid remarks quickly spreading across social media. He explained the harrowing experience to an engaged audience, stating, “I had a really bad pain in my head in Louisiana and I did the show anyway. I couldn’t really see well, so when we went to Houston, I went to the hospital and the doctor was like, ‘You had a stroke.'”
The artist expressed his feelings of disappointment at the time, particularly regretting having to let down fans and still not having visited Ireland. Further compounding his health issues, Glover also disclosed that doctors discovered a “hole” in his heart, necessitating two subsequent surgeries.
Reflecting on the life-altering experience, Glover shared a profound insight with the crowd: “They say everybody has two lives and the second life starts when you realize you have one. You got one life, guys, and I gotta be honest, the life I’ve lived with you guys has been such a blessing.”
Representatives for Donald Glover have been contacted for further comment regarding his health journey.
