Donald Glover has officially announced the cancelation of his Childish Gambino tour dates. The singer announced the cancelation in a statement posted on his official X page on October 5, 2024:
"After my show in New Orleans, I went to the hospital in Houston to make sure of an ailment that had become apparent. After being assesed, it became clear i would not perform that night, and after more tests, i could not perform the rest of the US tour in the time asked. As of now I have surgery scheduled and need time out to heal."
Donald Glover continued:
"My path to recovery is something I need to confront seriously. With that said, we have made the difficult decision to cancel the remainder of the North American tour and the UK and European dates. Tickets will be refunded at point of purchase. I want nothing more than to bring this show to the fans and perform. Until then, thanks for love, privacy, and support ."

The singer elaborated on the album in an exclusive interview with The New York Times on July 19, 2024, stating:
"Success to me is, honestly, being able to put out a wide-scale album that I would listen to. For this album, I really wanted to be able to play big rooms and have big, anthemic songs that fill those rooms, so that people feel a sense of togetherness."
Fam Udeorji, Gambino's co-creator, added:
"If people listen to this album and it becomes a part of their identity, if they look back a year later and are reminded of how much they listened to it and what that felt like in the summer of ’24 — that kind of real estate is way more valuable to me."
Bando Stone and The New World will also be a new film, to be released in 2025. The film and the album will be Donald Glover's final project as Childish Gambino, with the singer set to retire the moniker after the release of said project.
