The artist revealed that following the show, he sought medical attention in Houston, where his ailment became more apparent.

"After my show in New Orleans, I went to the hospital in Houston to make sure of an ailment that had become apparent," Glover shared.

"After being assessed, it became clear I would not perform that night, and after more tests, I could not perform the rest of the US tour in the time asked."

Glover had initially postponed these dates with the hope of rescheduling once he recovered. However, further medical tests revealed that he would need a more extended period of rest and healing.

Glover is set to undergo surgery, and while details about his condition remain private, he emphasized the seriousness of his situation.

"As of now, I have surgery scheduled and need time out to heal. My path to recovery is something I need to confront seriously. I want nothing more than to bring this show to the fans and perform. Until then, thanks for love, privacy, and support," Glover continued in his statement.
