Robin Williams' health issues are more serious than we thought!

On Wednesday, the funnyman was admitted into a Florida Intensive Care Unit for heart problems, not just shortness of breath, as had previously been reported.

Williams has already cancelled all four of his South Florida shows, but hopes to be well enough for his show in Orlando on Monday.

Relax, Robin!

Take the time to get better. And get well soon!

      I love Robin Williams, but drugs are bad-mmmkay. Seriously, I'm sure all the drugs that he did back in the day probably have begun to caught up to him. It's sad. Luckily, he didn't go the way of John Belushi.

      Maybe tubs should get on a treadmill and he wouldn't have those heart problems. What a lardass! Right Perez? He's way bigger than Jessica Simpson! Why aren't you commenting on his big moobs?

      "Cocaine's a helluva drug"



    34. 34

      he's looks ecstatic to have his picture taken……



    35. 35

      hey perez, unless someone was just out running or climbing a bunch of stairs, alot of those sob are heart problems. the heart is not pumping enough oxygen to the lungs and the rest of the body. of course there are other reasons for shortness of breath, but people would rather say they have sob (which they do) then have heart problems(which they might not know they have)

      Crap. We've already lost his friend John Ritter and that was horrible enough. I hope the docs find out what is wrong. This is so sad. Get well, Robin, the world needs the laughter you bring us.

      I'm sure his heart problems have ABSOLUTLY NOTHING to do with cocaine!



    47. 47

      I'm sure that his heart problems have absolutly nothing to do with cocaine!

      Shortness of breath is a symptom of heart problems. It could be cardiomyopothy with reduced ejection fraction (I have it). The heart is large and doesn't beat efficiently. Treated with meds.

      With that said, I hope RW gets well soon!



    49. 49

      Get Well soon Mork!



    50. 50

      Guess he shouldn't have blown so much cocaine up his nose back in the day, cause now IT"S PAYBACK TIME!!!!



    51. 51

      I'm sad to hear he's not well, but no male over the age of 15 should wear those shorts.
