Robin Williams is postponing the remainder of his critically acclaimed one-man show, "Weapons of Self-Destruction," to undergo surgery for an aortic valve replacement.
"I'm so touched by everyone’s support and well wishes," said Williams. "This tour has been amazing fun and I can’t wait to get back out on the road after a little tune-up."
The tour -- which has been sold out since September 2008 -- is expected to resume in the fall.
A source told Usmagazine.com that Williams is currently in an intensive care unit for heart issues at the University of Miami/Jackson Memorial Medical Center in south Miami.
A well-placed source tells Us the actor, 57, underwent "cardioversion," a procedure that converts an abnormal heart rhythm back to a normal rhythm, on Wednesday night.
According to a statement on his Web site, Williams was experiencing shortness of breath.
"[He] is currently being evaluated by doctors who are recommending a week of rest," read the statement.
