Donald Glover has canceled the remaining dates of Childish Gambino’s North American and European tour.

The musician, actor and “Atlanta” creator announced on Friday that he recently discovered an ailment that required surgery. After his New Orleans show on Sept. 7, he sought tests at a hospital and canceled a Houston show the following night. In a note on X, he did not elaborate on his condition.

“My path to recovery is something I need to confront seriously,” Glover wrote, adding that he needed “time out to heal.”

“The New World Tour” is Childish Gambino’s first tour since 2019. The run began on Aug. 11 in Oklahoma City and was to hit many major North American cities before moving to Europe, the U.K., New Zealand and Australia into early 2025.

The cancellation affects over 30 scheduled dates in North America, the U.K. and Europe. Tickets, he said, will be refunded.

“I want nothing more than to bring this show to the fans and perform,” Glover wrote. “Until then, thanks for love, privacy, and support.”

Garth Brooks, Trisha Yearwood sold $3.3 million mansion day before sexual assault lawsuit

Garth Brooks’ Tennessee mansion sold mere hours before he and his wife’s former makeup artist accused the country star of rape and sexual harassment in a lawsuit filed on Thursday.

One day earlier, the 62-year-old Grammy Award winner and his wife Trisha Yearwood sold their sprawling property in the Nashville suburb of Brentwood, which served as the set for more than 100 episodes of the latter’s Food Network series, “Trisha’s Southern Kitchen,” Realtor.com reports.

The couple, who have been married for nearly 19 years, initially listed the property for $4.5 million last year. They eventually lowered the asking price multiple times after failing to secure a buyer, ultimately selling the home for $3.34 million.

The makeup artist, identified in the lawsuit as Jane Roe, accused Brooks of brutally raping her in a hotel room in 2019, when they were in Los Angeles to record his Grammy tribute to Sam Moore, according to the complaint reviewed by the Daily News.

Roe also described other allegations of assault and harassment, including multiple instances in which Brooks allegedly groped her breasts, forced her to grab his genitalia, asked her for oral sex and shared unwanted sexual fantasies.

Roe said she initially began working for fellow country star Yearwood back in 1999 and started working with Brooks in 2017. She continued to work for him for roughly two years after the abuse began, saying in the lawsuit that she only did so because she needed the money.

Knowing a lawsuit was coming, Brooks last month filed a preemptive legal action in Mississippi in attempt to stop her from suing him, according to Roe’s complaint. He described the allegations as “false” and accused her of attempted extortion, defamation and infliction of emotional distress.

In the hours after Roe’s suit was filed, Brooks issued a statement that read: “For the last two months, I have been hassled to no end with threats, lies, and tragic tales of what my future would be if I did not write a check for many millions of dollars. It has been like having a loaded gun waved in my face.”

That same night, Brooks performed a sold-out show at The Colosseum at Caesars as part of his Las Vegas residency scheduled through early next year.

“If there was ever a night that I really needed this, TONIGHT was that night!” Brooks subsequently wrote on Instagram, captioning a photo from the performance. “Thank you for my life!!!!!”

Paul Simon not giving up hope on performing live after hearing loss

NEW YORK — Paul Simon is not giving up hope that the show will go on as he continues to learn how to deal with his recent hearing loss.

The Newark-born, Queens-raised singer, who last year revealed he suddenly lost most of the hearing in his left ear about two-and-a-half years earlier, has embraced a positive outlook about getting back onstage and performing live again.

In an interview published Friday, Simon told The Guardian that he’s “hoping to eventually be able to do a full-length concert.”

“I’m optimistic,” Simon, 82, said, adding: “Six months ago I was pessimistic.”

After rising to fame in the 1960s as half of the folk rock duo Simon & Garfunkel, the singer-songwriter found solo success in the 1970s and ’80s with the Grammy-winning albums “Still Crazy After All These Years” and“Graceland.”

Last year, he released his most recent studio opus, “Seven Psalms,” also publicly disclosing that the hearing loss hinders his ability to perform with a full band.

“It’s upsetting,” he shared with “CBS Sunday Mornings” last year. “I can still hear well enough to play guitar and write. But I can’t hear well enough to play with five or six musicians. Maybe that’s fine. Maybe there’s something to be learned from that?”

The 16-time Grammy winner toured for the last time in 2018, calling a wrap on his current touring life.

But he clarified in the new interview that it didn’t mean it was the end of performing live.

“I never said I was going to retire. I said I was going to stop [touring], which I did,” he said. “I thought that with that band and the repertoire we were doing, we’d developed it as far as we could. It was enjoyable, but I wanted to find out what happens when you stop.”
