Robin Williams is canceling several performances in Florida of his one-man comedy show, "Weapons of Self-Destruction," after recently experiencing shortness of breath.
The comedian says in a press release that doctors are evaluating him and recommended a week of rest. Williams had been 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.
In the midst of a tour, stand-up comic Robin Williams checked into a Miami hospital with "heart issues," the Miami Herald reported. Drudge said the movie star is in "intensive care."
Williams has reported experiencing shortness of breath on his "Weapons of Mass Destruction Tour" and announced yesterday he would skip four scheduled shows on the advice of his doctor. His older brother died two years ago from heart surgery complications, according to Wikipedia.
According to the Herald's ultra-short story, Williams could be "laid up for a while."
Robin Williams cancels 4 Fla. shows--"Shortness of breath"
Robin Williams was coming here to Orlando, going there (Seminole Hard Rock Casino), performing live everywhere in his "Weapons of Self Destruction Tour."
He was due in Orlando Friday night March. 6. This Friday.
He's canceled four Florida shows on doctor's orders, "shortness of breath."
When you're Robin Williams, shortness of breath is a big deal. Dude never takes a breath.
Sweats a lot, too. Even at 57.
No word as of this moment from UCF on what to do about ticket refunds or a possible rescheduled date. The tour, his website says, runs to the end of May, with dates on Broadway at the end of April and the first of May--80 dates in all.
Rescheduling? He does NOT want to be in Florida in June. Especially with the breath issues. And the sweating.
