Rapper Childish Gambino Cancels Performance Due To Injury



The mtvU Woodie Awards will go down on Thursday in Austin, Texas, with entertainment from a lineup that includes Mac Miller, Santigold and many more. But one of the show's scheduled performers, Childish Gambino (a.k.a. Donald Glover), was forced to cancel his performance due to an injury.

Gambino, who was set to kick off his much-anticipated Camp Tour this Friday in Atlanta, fractured his foot during one of his shows over the weekend.

"It is with great disappointment that we announce that Childish Gambino will be unable to perform at this year's mtvU Woodie Awards after suffering a severely fractured foot over the weekend at a show in Tampa, Florida," a spokesperson for the rapper told MTV News in a statement.

Due to the high-energy style of Gambino's live shows and the nature of his injury, it wasn't possible for him to move forward with the scheduled Woodies performance.

Following are the rescheduled Childish Gambino Camp Tour dates. For any additional information, please check out childishgambino.com and iamdonald.com.
