Donald Glover reveals he had a stroke live on stage

"You had a stroke."

The musician, who performs as Childish Gambino, opened up about the reason he had to cancel his tour last year.

Speaking on Saturday night, he said: "I had a really bad pain in my head in Louisiana and I did the show anyway.

"I couldn't really see well, so when we went to Houston, I went to the hospital and the doctor was like, 'You had a stroke.'"

Glover then postponed his tour before eventually cancelling the remaining dates, citing health issues.

Glover said that doctors also discovered he had a hole in his heart so he was forced to endure two surgeries.

He said: "They say everybody has two lives and the second life starts when you realise you have one. "You got one life, guys, and I gotta be honest, the life I've lived with you guys has been such a blessing."

He said at the time: "After my show in New Orleans, I went to the hospital in Houston to make sure of an ailment that had become apparent.

“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. As of now I have surgery scheduled and need time out to heal.

“My path to recovery is something I need to confront seriously. With that said, we have made the difficult decision to cancel the remainder of the North American tour and the UK and European dates.”
