Your support makes all the difference.Childish Gambino has been forced to postpone his remaining US tour dates to recover from a reported foot injury.
According to the promoter LiveNation, the artist's 'This Is America' tour will continue on 2 December in Nashville, Tennessee, with tickets for the rescheduled shows being honoured for new dates apart from the Seattle date, which has been cancelled due to "venue renovations".
The injury also means Gambino, whose real name is Donald Glover, has to cancel his headline appearance at the Austin City Limits music festival in October. He will still perform at the Voodoo Music and Arts Experience in New Orleans on 27 October, according to the Seattle Times.
Fam Rothstein of Wolf + Rothstein, the creative collective that manages Gambino, tweeted on 25 September: "This is America tour is postponed, not cancelled. My guy played through the pain, but has to sit some dates out. Back before the year's over."
Gambino has said his 'This Is America' tour will be the last from his creative alter-ego. The show has received critical acclaim for its lights and artwork, and for Gambino's performance.
