Childish Gambino, the stage name of actor Donald Glover, has revealed that he suffered a stroke last year which prompted him to cancel his tour. In a surprising turn of events, Glover shared this information on stage at Tyler, the Creator's Camp Flog Gnaw festival in Los Angeles.
According to Glover, he initially downplayed his health issue when he performed in Louisiana despite experiencing severe pain in his head. He continued with the show and only sought medical attention after their next performance in Houston, where doctors informed him of the stroke diagnosis.
Furthermore, Glover disclosed that two surgeries were necessary as a result of an undiagnosed heart condition discovered during one of the procedures. It is clear that this health scare was incredibly distressing for the artist, who expressed regret over his inability to fulfill commitments and lamented missing out on opportunities like visiting Ireland.
Glover's words, which included the notion that "you got one life," served as a poignant reminder of the fragility of life and the importance of cherishing each moment.

. i remember hearing about his initial show in louisiana and thinking "what's going on with donald?" glad he spoke out now tho, hope the surgeries went well 
. heart condition? whoa, scary stuff... glad he's alive and kicking 
. one life, for sure, we should all appreciate that 
.
my heart goes out to Donald Glover, he must've been through such a terrifying experience, not knowing what was wrong with him till it was too late 
. 2 surgeries? that's crazy 
. I can imagine how frustrating it must be for an artist to have to cancel shows and miss out on opportunities like visiting Ireland... that just breaks my heart 
. he's lucky to have made it through and is sharing his story now, hopefully helping others see the importance of taking care of themselves 
.
. Two surgeries later, it just goes to show that even the busiest people need to take care of themselves 
.
- life is so unpredictable and you never know when something like this could happen 
. And y'know what? It's actually kind of refreshing to see someone as famous as him share his vulnerability with us all 
. Maybe we can all learn a thing or two from his "one life" philosophy 
and btw, 2 surgeries from an undiagnosed heart condition? that's just wild 
. glad he's speaking out and using his platform to raise awareness about the importance of your health 
. it's a good reminder for all of us to take care of ourselves, especially when life gets crazy 
. camp flog gnaw festival was definitely a memorable performance 
how could he not know about the heart condition tho? it's like he's saying "oh look i'm having a stroke" and then they catch another issue that's even more serious 
anyway glad he's okay now, hope his recovery is going smoothly 
. It's so easy to get caught up in work and other stuff and forget about what really matters. But this is a big wake-up call for him, and I hope he comes out of this even more inspired and creative 
.
... anyway back to Childish Gambino dude... it's crazy how he kept performing while having a stroke, I mean what kinda pain are we talking here? 1000+ likes on that tweet and now his whole tour history is out there for everyone to see... can you imagine being on stage with a massive headache?! 
on the bright side, though, at least he's being open about it now and sharing his story 
. Thankfully, his swift decision to seek medical attention led to an accurate diagnosis and subsequent treatment. The fact that two surgeries were necessary due to an undiagnosed heart condition highlights the importance of diligence in maintaining our overall health 
. His words about having only one life serve as a poignant reminder to cherish every instant, no matter how seemingly insignificant it may seem 
.
and it got me thinking about how stressful the whole "being famous" thing must be for people like Childish Gambino. I mean, can you imagine having to keep up appearances all the time? Like, what if you're actually feeling really unwell but you have a show to do or something? That would be super nerve-wracking for me, let alone someone who's basically living their life in the spotlight 24/7... anyway, back to Donald Glover - two surgeries? That's crazy!
