“My road to recovery is something I must face seriously,” Glover wrote.

“The New World Tour” is Childish Gambino’s first tour since 2019. The tour kicked off on August 11 in Oklahoma City and was scheduled to hit many major North American cities before moving to Europe, the United Kingdom, New -Zealand and Australia in early 2025.
