MIAMI — Robin William is postponing his comedy tour to undergo heart surgery, the funnyman announced Thursday on his official Web site.
The 57-year-old actor and comedian said he needs an aortic valve replacement.
Williams had canceled four shows in Florida this week after experiencing shortness of breath. He was scheduled to perform Wednesday and Thursday at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida; Friday at the UFC Arena in Orlando; and Saturday at the Sundome in Tampa.
Williams has been in the midst of his 80-city “Weapons of Self-Destruction” comedy tour since last September. He said that the tour will most likely resume in the fall.
“I’m so touched by everyone’s support and well wishes,” Williams said in a statement. “This tour has been amazing fun and I can’t wait to get back out on the road after a little tune-up.”
