Article By: Ashia Skye
While on the final tour stop of his This is America tour in Los Angeles on Monday (Dec. 17), Childish Gambino revealed that his father, Donald Glover Sr., has passed away.
“I lost my father a couple weeks ago and I wanted to play him some of the new songs but he didn’t want to hear them, because he was like, ‘I know they’re going to be great.'” he revealed.
“I’m not saying that to talk about music — I say that to talk about trust. That’s what love is,” Gambino adds. “I hope you guys get to feel that kind of love.”
