Some ofDonald Glover’s fans will have to wait a little longer to see him live.

The musician, actor and comedian, who raps as Childish Gambino, postponed the remaining North American dates of his ongoing The New World Tour in order to dedicate time to his “physical health.”

“hey everyone. unfortunately i have to postpone the rest of the north american tour to focus on my physical health for a few weeks,” wrote Glover, 40, onX (formerly Twitter), advising fans to “hold onto your tickets.”

TheMr. & Mrs. Smithstar continued, “ALL tickets will be honored for the upcoming dates in north america when they are rescheduled. thanks for the privacy. thanks for the support. thanks for the love.”

The New World Tour kicked off on Aug. 11 at the Paycom Center in Oklahoma, and he’s since performed shows in cities including Milwaukee, Detroit, Toronto, Philadelphia, Boston, New York City, Nashville, Atlanta and New Orleans.

Glover previously postponed his Sept. 8 show at the Toyota Center in Houston “due to illness.”

Bando Stone & the New World, released in July, will be Glover’s last album as Childish Gambino. “It really was just like, ‘Oh, it’s done,'” he previously toldThe New York Times.“It’s not fulfilling. And I just felt like I didn’t need to build in this way anymore.”

Elsewhere in theNYTinterview, however, the “This Is America” artist clarified that he “always” wants to “do music.”
