http://www.miamiherald.com/news/breaking-news/story/933065.html Robin Williams in South Florida hospital We know the reason Robin Williams postponed all four performances of his one-man show in Florida: Sources say he's currently at a Miami hospital with heart issues and could be laid up for a while. Williams, 57, has been on his ''Weapons of Self Destruction'' tour since September.
Too much cocaine in the '70s/80s. Did you ever see the HBO special a few years ago where he literally had 20 water bottles to drink from on a table as he was sweating profusely thoughout the show? "Heart problems". Uh huh
Considering cocaine can damage the heart and he was complaining about shortness of breath for the last few days I would imagine that the heart problems is legit.
I think he's been a remarkable talent as both a comedian and a feature film (serious) actor. I hope he gets better and returns to his craft for many years to come.
Oh, he is hilarious, and I like how open he's been about his past. He also was incredible in Dead Poets Society and Good Will Hunting, which is remarkable considering he is first and foremost a comedian.
Robin Williams will be having aortic valve replacement. http://www.cnn.com/2009/SHOWBIZ/Movies/03/05/robin.williams/index.html
