Robin Williams Hospitalized For Heart Problems

In the midst of a tour, stand-up comic Robin Williams checked into a Miami hospital with "heart issues," the Miami Herald reported. Drudge said the movie star is in "intensive care." Frantic funnyman Robin Williams was hospitalized with heart trouble Wednesday in South Florida.

He's in the ICU.

According to the Miami Herald, the comedian, 57, complained of shortness of breath yesterday.

Williams has reported experiencing shortness of breath on his "Weapons of Mass Destruction Tour" and announced yesterday he would skip four scheduled shows on the advice of his doctor. His older brother died two years ago from heart surgery complications, according to Wikipedia.

He canceled all four South Florida performances of his one-man show "Weapons of Self Destruction" after doctors evaluated him and recommended a week of rest.

Williams has been on an 80-city tour since September and has done shows in 11 cities over the past three weeks.

That's a lot of traveling and a lot of shows.

He reportedly will be back on stage Monday in Jacksonville, Fla.

Slow down, Robin!
