Childish Gambino will not perform in Vancouver for his scheduled show at Rogers Arena. 

The American rapper and singer has postponed his The New World Tour, citing unspecified health reasons. He plans to reschedule his shows and complete the tour when he feels better.  

In a post on X, formerly Twitter, Donald Glover (who goes by the stage name Childish Gambino), wrote in a post on Monday, Sept. 9 that he would have to postpone the remainder of his tour to focus on his "physical health for a few weeks."

The "This is America" rapper advises fans to "hold onto your tickets," writing that they will be honoured for the new dates in North America when rescheduled.

Glover also thanked the public for respecting his privacy and showing support.

Glover was scheduled to perform at Rogers Arena on Sept. 23 before heading to Calgary on Sept. 27 and Edmonton on Sept 29. 

While appearing as Troy Barnes in the cult comedy series Community, the rapper dropped his debut album, Camp, in 2011, describes Ticketmaster.

In 2018, Glover unveiled his politically charged single “This Is America.” The track went viral thanks to its cinematic music video, hitting No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and winning the artist four Grammys including Record of the Year, Song of the Year, Best Music Video and Best Rap/Sung Performance.
