Donald Glover is opening up about a recent health scare that forced him to cancel his tour last year. <\/p>\n
At the time, he described it as an “ailment”, but Glover said Sunday at a performance that a doctor told him he\u2019d had a stroke.<\/p>\n
Glover, who performs under the moniker Childish Gambino, shared the information on stage at Tyler, the Creator\u2019s Camp Flog Gnaw festival in Los Angeles. <\/p>\n
His remarks were shared widely on social media.<\/p>\n
“You guys voted for a \u2018where have I been monologue’,” Glover, 42, said. <\/p>\n
“I had a really bad pain in my head in Louisiana and I did the show anyway. <\/p>\n
“I couldn\u2019t really see well, so when we went to Houston, I went to the hospital and the doctor was like, ‘You had a stroke’.”<\/p>\n
Glover said he felt like he was letting everyone down, lamenting that he still hasn\u2019t been to Ireland. <\/p>\n
He also revealed that “they found a hole” in his heart and he had to have two surgeries.<\/p>\n
“They say everybody has two lives and the second life starts when you realise you have one,” Glover said. <\/p>\n
“You got one life, guys, and I gotta be honest, the life I\u2019ve lived with you guys has been such a blessing.”<\/p>\n
His representatives did not immediately respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Donald Glover is opening up about a recent health scare that forced him to cancel his tour last…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":150984,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[430,156,157,111,139,69],"class_list":["post-150983","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-music","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/150983","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=150983"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/150983\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/150984"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=150983"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=150983"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=150983"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
