UPDATED, 9:35 AM: Childish Gambino, the rap alter ego of Atlanta’s Donald Glover, has rescheduled the concerts date he was forced to postpone after an onstage injury over the weekend. See the new dates below. PREVIOUSLY, September 26: Fans of Childish Gambino will be disappointed to hear that he has canceled tour dates for his “This Is America” North American tour after he suffered an injury during his Dallas show. After he injured his foot, his Dallas concert was cut short — but don’t fret! It seems as though Donald Glover’s rap alias is ok and that the concert will continue in December in Nashville. Those who were expecting to attend the canceled tour stops will be refunded. The news of the postponed dates comes after he announced he was canceling his performance at the Forum in Los Angeles. Fam Rothstein of Wolf + Rothstein, who manages Childish Gambino and oversees music on Glover’s Emmy-winning Atlanta, tweeted the official announcement of the postponed dates via Twitter saying: “This is America tour is postponed, not cancelled. My guy played through the pain, but has to sit some dates out. Back before the years over.” Related Story Donald Glover Inks Overall Deal With Amazon Studios The “Feels Like Summer” singer has also canceled his performance at the Austin City Limits Music Festival which was set for Oct. 7 and 14 as well. However, he is still expected to headline the Voodoo Music + Arts Experience in New Orleans on Oct. 27. Specific details about Childish Gambino’s injuries have not been released, but he has said that the “This Is America” tour was going to be his last. The title of his tour is, of course, referring to the title of his hit song which made waves earlier this year with a social commentary-filled music video helmed by Atlanta‘s visionary director Hiro Murai.

(UPDATE: Concert promoter Live Nation has officially announced what several outlets were reporting Wednesday, that Childish Gambino has indeed postponed portions of his North American concert tour. Live Nation’s statement: “Under doctors’ orders, Childish Gambino has postponed his remaining ‘This Is America Tour’ dates until later this year due to an injury. Tickets will be honored for the newly rescheduled dates December 11 @OracleArena and December 12 @SAPCenter. The original dates were Sept. 27 in Oakland and Oct. 2 in San Jose. Keep checking this file for updates.) Suffering from an apparent foot injury — though details are scarce and reporting are conflicting — Childish Gambino announced Tuesday he has postponed his Sept. 26 date at the Forum in Los Angeles. That has fans worried that the R&B/rap star, whose real name is Donald Glover, might also have to reschedule his two upcoming dates in the Bay Area. As of now, tickets are still being sold for both concerts — Sept. 27 at Oracle Arena in Oakland and Oct. 2 at SAP Center in San Jose — with sellers continuing to list the shows as if they will take place. Neither the ticket sellers nor concert promoter are offering any details yet as to what is going on with the shows. Of course, that could change at a moment’s notice. Consider that word of the Forum postponement only came a day prior to the scheduled performance date of Sept. 26. Attempts to reach promoter Live Nation about the status of the San Jose and Oakland shows were unsuccessful. There has been no official word on why the postponement was necessary, but most are linking it to Glover reportedly injuring his foot during a concert on Sept. 23 at the American Airlines Center in Dallas. Details, however, are far from clear. “He was onstage at the American Airlines Center and 30 minutes before the concert was set to end he suddenly walked off stage and didn’t return,” TMZ reports. “It’s unclear what happened. One concertgoer tells us Childish Gambino — aka Donald Glover — was attempting to do the splits and hurt himself. Several others say he misstepped during a dance move. He left the stage without performing his songs, ‘Redbone’ and ‘3005.’” TMZ later reported: “We’re told an official at the American Airlines Center said after the show Childish Gambino broke his foot.” However, other sites are reporting that he spotted using crutches and/or a wheelchair on tour stops before the American Airlines Center show. This file will be updated once more details — especially about the Oakland and San Jose shows — becomes available.<doc-sep>UPDATED: Childish Gambino is postponing the remainder of his “This Is America” North American tour due to an injury, Live Nation announced on Wednesday. The tour, which was supposed to stop at Los Angeles’ the Forum on Wednesday night, will pick back up in December in Nashville. The remaining eight shows will all take place throughout the month, with the exception of the Seattle stop, which has been cancelled due to “venue renovations.” Tickets for that concert will be refunded. Gambino’s performances at the Austin City Limits Music Festival, originally scheduled for Oct. 7 and Oct. 14, are both being cancelled. He will next perform at the Voodoo Music + Arts Experience in New Orleans on Oct. 27. The news comes after Gambino postponed his stop at the Forum just a day before it was scheduled to take place. Fam Rothstein of Wolf + Rothstein, the “creative collective” that manages Gambino (a.k.a. Donald Glover), tweeted late Tuesday: “This is America tour is postponed, not cancelled. My guy played through the pain, but has to sit some dates out. Back before the years over.” While Live Nation did not specify the nature of his injury, TMZ and other outlets reported that Gambino may have injured or broken his foot while performing in Dallas, where the show was apparently cut short. Gambino has said that this tour will be his — or at least his Gambino alter-ego’s — last. He has premiered three new songs on the tour in addition to the four he’s released earlier in the year, and while an album is expected sometime in the coming weeks, no definitive announcement has been made. Of the New York show, Variety said, “The presentation is visually stunning, with an arena-filling light show, lots of dry ice and pair of 50-foot tall video banks that move between the center and the sides of the stage; large video screens were on either side, showing both the stage and often members of the crowd. During the rap songs, the lights would occasionally answer and accentuate the lyrics. At several points during the show, cameramen followed Glover offstage — and once trailed him backstage, then through a series of hallways into the arena proper, where he walked past the concession stands, through an entrance and finally into the seats (somewhere around section 108)— and into the crowd, where thousands of cellphone cameras flashed he gradually made his way through the aisles and back onto the stage.” See all the new dates below.

Childish Gambino is starting the last leg of his tour off on the wrong foot. The Grammy, Golden Globe and Emmy-Award winning rapper/actor, also known by day as Donald Glover, rescheduled the remainder of his North American tour Wednesday over an apparent impairment. "Under doctors’ orders, Childish Gambino has postponed his remaining 'This Is America Tour' dates until later this year due to an injury," Live Nation said in a statement to USA TODAY. Although the entertainment company didn't disclose the nature of Glover's injury, TMZ reported he broke his foot during a concert in Dallas Sunday, forcing him to cut his set short. Fam Rothstein of Wolf + Rothstein, who partnered with Live Nation to produce the tour, assured fans on Twitter Tuesday that the shows are just "postponed, not cancelled." He continued: "My guy played through the pain, but has to sit some dates out. Back before the years over.” Related: Michelle Obama hugs a crying Kanye West in Childish Gambino's new animated music video The injury is also forcing Gambino to cancel his appearance at the Austin City Limits Music Festival next month.
