Robin Williams needs heart valve replacement ASAP. The stand up comedian had to cancel a show in Florida because he was said to be having shortness of breath. I guess so….and a few chest pains to go with that!
More pictures after the sweat…
Robin used to be a hard partier in the past and admitted to drug and alcohol abuse. We all know what those substances do – helllllloo damage to the heart. Well, Robin needs aortic valve replacement surgery. And it is a kinda common open heart surgery. From the Orlando Sentinel:
Robin Williams has postponed the remainder of his “Weapons of Self-Destruction Tour” to undergo surgery for aortic valve replacement.
The tour is expected to resume in the fall, according to a release sent this afternoon from his publicist. It’s been reported that the actor is in a Miami hospital, however Williams’ publicist would not confirm his location.
“I’m so touched by everyone’s support and well wishes,” said Williams in the release. “This tour has been amazing fun and I can’t wait to get back out on the road after a little tune-up.”
Speculation on the medical condition of Williams had been rampant after the comedian canceled two shows at the Seminole Hard Rock & Casino in Hollywood.
And Barbara Bush, the former president’s mother, just had one done last week and is recovering nicely. Get well soon Robin!
