ROBIN WILLIAMS TO HAVE HEART SURGERY

Famed star Robin Williams has postponed the remainder of his comedy tour so he can undergo heart surgery in Miami. Concerns were brought up about Williams' health on Wednesday when he was ordered by doctors to take a week of rest after complaining of shortness of breath. Media reports suggested the comic had been admitted to a Miami hospital to undergo tests, prompting his spokesperson to confirm Williams is putting work on hold to be treated for a heart condition. The representative reveals he will "undergo surgery for an aortic valve replacement." A statement from 57-year-old Williams adds, "I'm so touched by everyone's support and well wishes. This tour has been amazing fun and I can't wait to get back out on the road after a little tune-up." Williams has been on the Broadway-bound 80-city tour since September and has played shows in 11 cities over the past three weeks. Reports suggest the star will be back to work soon.
