Finding himself in the human version of a mechanics shop, Robin Williams' Weapons of Self-Destruction has been postponed for what seems will remain the rest of his original tour dates while he gets a "tune up," better known as heart surgery. His one man comedy show was scheduled to undergo an 80 city tour, and now the funny man of the hour is undergoing surgery for an aortic valve replacement. Resuming once again in the fall, Robin Williams tickets will continue to be a hot commodity once he continues his destructive path, with help from online ticket resellers for sold out dates.
Williams noticed shortness of breath while on his leg in Florida, and after learning that he needed such process, the 57 year old decided to cancel the tour that began in September 2008 so he has time to recover. "I'm so touched by everyone's support and well wishes," he said. "This tour has been amazing fun and I can't wait to get back out on the road after a little tune-up." according to Dr. Timothy Gardener, President of the American Heart Association, "in someone who is healthy, despite being in their late '50s, there is a very low operative risk of failure, death or complications," thus an easy surgery and recovery for the star will allow a continued tour. Looking fit and as always remaining entertaining during his shows in Southern California, Williams has been in and out of rehab (his last bout was in 2006) after battling with addictions to cocaine and alcohol.
Just months before he jaunted on such an endeavor, the standup comedian and film actor was all excitement. "It's an election year, which is basically Christmas for stand-up comics," Williams said in a statement. "And I figured I should get my ass on the road while the Shrub is still in office. A lot has happened in the world and in my life since I last did this six years ago and there's no better thrill and no better therapy than getting on that high-wire in front of a live audience." His Broadway performances at the Neil Simon Theater sold out in mere minutes, requiring three additional performances added to the bill, none of which have yet to get dates.
Earning rave reviews from critics during his Texas and Oklahoma stints, who said he "proved that he remains one of comedy's most relevant voices and thinkers, even as he uses water bottles for props in masturbation jokes and envisions the committee that planned the human reproductive system," from Tulsa World, while another from The Dallas Morning News said he's "akin to watching an extremely risque, oddly endearing Energizer Bunny on steroids a bunny who's taken a show of NoDoz and about a gallon of Red Bull for good measure," there is no doubt the man will return to the stage. He continued to add more dates throughout his first few months, and will see more once he recovers - with date announcements coming soon and reimbursements for those who can't make them!
