Donald Glover says he had a stroke

Donald Glover, the Grammy-winning musician known for his work as Childish Gambino, revealed on Saturday night that he had suffered a stroke last year, which forced him to cancel his tour. At Tyler, the Creator's Camp Flog Gnaw festival in Los Angeles, Glover shared the information with the audience, saying that after experiencing severe headaches in Louisiana and performing a show despite feeling unwell, he went to the hospital in Houston where doctors informed him of the stroke.

Glover described the ordeal as an "ailment" when it happened but said that his current understanding is more accurate. He acknowledged that canceling the tour was devastating for him, especially because he had felt like letting everyone down and still hadn't been able to visit Ireland. His team found a hole in his heart during surgery and he required two operations.

Glover drew attention from the audience with his words of gratitude, saying "They say everybody has two lives, and the second life starts when you realize you have one." He expressed that the life he has lived with his fans has been a blessing.

Blown mind! Donald Glover is still killing it after going through all that . I mean, can you imagine having to cancel a tour and feeling like you've let everyone down? It's gotta be super tough for someone who's used to being in the spotlight . But what I love most about him is how he's taking this experience and turning it into something beautiful . That second life quote though... gives me chills . He's so right, we do have two lives, but it's not until we realize our own mortality that we get to live the real one . Kudos to him for being open about his struggles and finding a way to spread love and gratitude .

I'm so relieved to hear that Donald Glover is okay! I can only imagine how scary it must've been for him to not know what was going on after the stroke... His reaction at Camp Flog Gnaw festival sounds amazing, though - thanks for being so open and honest with your fans, Donnie . And wow, finding a hole in his heart during surgery is just crazy! I hope he's doing okay now and that the two operations were successful . It's beautiful that you're grateful for the life you've had with your fans - it's something we parents can definitely relate to when our kids are going through tough times

Can't believe Donald Glover just shared that he had a stroke last year and still managed to give us such an inspiring speech at Camp Flog Gnaw festival! I'm so glad he's being open about it, it's actually really refreshing to see him take control of the narrative. I mean, who wouldn't want to talk about their health struggles after going through something like that? His words are just so... Childish Gambino-esque, you know? Like, that line about realizing you have one life and starting your second when you realize that's what it is... *chef's kiss* . Glad he's doing okay now, and I'm sending all my love to him and his team !

I gotta fact-check this for ya! So Donald Glover had a stroke, huh? I'm not buying it just 'cause he said so... like, what if people don't know the difference between a "severe headache" and a stroke? Shouldn't he've gotten checked out sooner? And how did his team not catch that hole in his heart during surgery? Two operations?! That's some crazy stuff right there!

just thinking about Donald Glover's experience is giving me chills... I mean, a stroke can sneak up on anyone, especially if you're not taking care of yourself . It's crazy to think about how that could've affected him, both physically and mentally . But what really gets me is his perspective on it all - he's choosing to focus on the positive and finding strength in being alive . And can we talk about his team for a sec? Finding a hole in his heart during surgery? That's some next-level medical expertise right there !

.. 1 year ago? Like how did it go undetected? I mean, severe headaches, but he still goes on stage? That's some crazy stuff. And then they found out he had a hole in his heart... two ops? That's some serious business. I'm glad he's alive and all, but what if he didn't make it? The thought of him not being able to visit Ireland is actually kinda sad. But at the same time, I can understand why he'd want to perform for his fans. They're probably what got him through it all. It's just crazy that everyone out there doesn't know this about him...

Ugh, can't believe how outdated our forum's search function is still . Anyway, back to Donald Glover... what a hero for sharing his truth about having a stroke and cancelling his tour . I mean, it takes a lot of courage to talk about something like that in front of thousands of people, especially after the initial shock has passed .

I do feel bad for him that he had to deal with severe headaches and still performed the show . It's like our forum sometimes – you think everything is fine on the surface but then you dive deeper and find out it's a whole mess .

Glad he's doing okay now, though! Two operations? That's a wild recovery process . And that quote at the end... wow, gives me chills . It's amazing how music can bring people together like that .

I feel so bad for Donald Glover, can't imagine going through something like that and still performing on stage... especially with severe headaches and not knowing what's really wrong. Glad to hear he got the medical attention he needed in Houston and now getting back to his life , even if it means missing out on stuff like visiting Ireland - hope he gets to fulfill that trip soon! The fact that he shared this with his fans at Camp Flog Gnaw festival shows how brave he is ... "They say everybody has two lives, and the second life starts when you realize you have one" really resonated with me ... gotta appreciate someone who can turn a tough experience into a message of gratitude .

just watched this video of Donald Glover sharing about his stroke experience it's crazy to think he was feeling so unwell but still performed a show... like, what is our priority there? anyway, I feel bad for him having to cancel his tour and deal with the aftermath but his message at the end is really inspiring - that life starts when you realize you have one... it's like, we need to appreciate the time we have with our loved ones & prioritize our own well-being maybe we can learn from Donald's experience?

Just think about it ... if Donald Glover's team found out they had to cancel a tour because of a hole in his heart during surgery, I'm pretty sure they would've tried to reschedule or find another way to make it work. But nope, the entire show gets canceled . And can you imagine being a fan and showing up to a concert only to find out your artist isn't even on stage because they had a medical emergency? The mental health impact alone would be crazy stressful... I'd want to get that concert rescheduled ASAP

OMG u guys i just found out about Donald Glover's stroke last yr I feel so bad for him cuz i know how devastating it must be to cancel tours & perform shows even when u r not feelin right. like i've had those kinda headaches too after staying up 2 late binge watching netflix lol but at least i didn't have a stroke Glover's words though are so inspiring im still gettin chills thinking about it - he's such a strong person for sharing his story & expressing gratitude to everyone who supported him I'm actually kinda feeling the same way - like, life is so precious & we should appreciate every moment cuz u never know when it could be taken away

OMG, I'm so shocked to hear that Donald Glover had a stroke last year ! Like, why didn't anyone say anything? How did it not get reported earlier? And poor dude, having two operations and a hole in his heart is no joke .

I feel for him, you know? He must've been going through so much stress with the tour and stuff. I'm glad he's being open about it now, though - that takes a lot of courage . And I love what he said about having two lives... it's so true! It just makes me appreciate his music even more, you know? . Did anyone else notice how calm he seemed on stage, despite everything? I'm curious if that's because he's been dealing with this stuff for a while or if there was something else going on .

just reading this about Donald Glover's stroke and I'm so relieved he's okay now it's crazy how we often put pressure on ourselves to perform, even when we're not feeling right I've had moments like that too where I thought I was being selfish but now I know prioritizing my own health is the best thing for everyone around me glad he found a hole in his heart during surgery lol what an unexpected twist & I love how grateful he is to have such amazing fans who supported him through this tough time they really are the second life, right?
