A US rapper has cancelled the remaining UK dates of his tour, including his show at the Hydro, due to health issues.
The American rapper, singer and actor Donald Glover was due to perform at the Finnieston venue on November 28 as part of his The New World Tour which was set to serve as his final farewell to his Childish Gambino stage name which he retired in July this year.
However, the 41-year-old announced on social media that the rest of his tour has been axed due to health issues.
Fans who bought tickets will be refunded.
In a statement posted on X on Friday night Glover wrote: "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 assesed, 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."

He did not reveal what the surgery is for.
He continued: "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.
"Tickets will be refunded at point of purchase. I want nothing more than to bring this show to the fans and perform.
"Until then, thanks for love, privacy, and support ."
