MIAMI (AP) - Robin Williams needs heart surgery and must cancel the remainder of his one-man comedy show, "Weapons of Self-Destruction," his publicist said Thursday.
The 57-year-old actor needs an aortic valve replacement, Diane Rosen said in a news release. Williams' representatives would not say when the comedian was admitted to the hospital or where.
"I'm so touched by everyone's support and well wishes," Williams said in the statement. "This tour has been amazing fun and I can't wait to get back out on the road after a little tune-up."
Williams was already in Florida when he canceled four shows in the state earlier this week after experiencing shortness of breath.
Former first lady Barbara Bush, 83, was recovering well from her aortic valve surgery this week, her doctors said. Replacement valves are either manmade or made from living tissue from human or animal sources.
Imagine that - the health care system that's so "broken" that it requires a massive government takeover nevertheless is able to save an 83-year old former first lady and a 57-year old comedian with parts that may not even be human.
As Don Surber said, I don't want affordable health care, I want good health care. And it doesn't come any better than what we have now in the U.S.
