Robin Williams' Tour Delayed Due to Open Heart Surgery

MIAMI, FL — Huffington Post is reporting, Robin Williams must cancel the remainder of his one-man comedy show, "Weapons of Self-Destruction," his publicist said Thursday.

According his publicist Mara Buxbaum, the 57 year old actor needs to undergo aortic heart valve replacement surgery. Williams' representatives gave no further information on Williams' condition. This is the same surgery former First Lady Barbara Bush underwent earlier in the week.

Since September, Williams had been on the sold-out, 80-city tour. He expects a speedy recovery and to resume in the fall according to his publicist. Tickets will be honored once the new dates are scheduled, or you may contact your place of purchase for refunds.

Best wishes from us here at Shattered Reflections to Mr. Williams. I am a huge fan!!!
