Donald Glover recently opened up about a health incident that led to the abrupt cancellation of his tour last year. Initially describing it as an “ailment,” Glover revealed during a performance on Saturday night that a doctor had informed him he had experienced a stroke.

Performing under his stage name, Childish Gambino, Glover shared this revelation while on stage at Tyler, the Creator’s Camp Flog Gnaw festival in Los Angeles. His comments quickly circulated across social media platforms.

“You guys voted for a ‘where have I been monologue,'” Glover, now 42, explained. “In Louisiana, I had a severe headache but went on with the show. My vision was impaired, so when we reached Houston, I visited the hospital, and the doctor said, ‘You had a stroke.'”

Glover expressed feelings of disappointment, admitting he felt he had let people down and mentioning he has yet to visit Ireland. He also disclosed that doctors discovered a hole in his heart, necessitating two surgeries.

“They say everyone has two lives, and the second begins when you realize you have just one,” Glover reflected. “You only get one life, and I must say, the life I’ve shared with you all has been an incredible blessing.”

His representatives did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
