Calling it his \u201cWhere Have I Been Monologue,\u201d Glover explained that he first started experiencing symptoms before his New Orleans show in September 2024. \u201cI had a really bad pain in my head in Louisiana, and I did the show anyway,\u201d he said. \u201cI couldn\u2019t really see well.
