Robin Williams cancels live dates

Robin Williams has cancelled a series of live shows due to health fears.

The comedian, 57, was forced to pull four Florida shows after suffering a shortness of breath.

In a press release, he confirmed that doctors are looking into the condition and have recommended a week's rest.

The cancelled shows in Hollywood, Orlando and Tampa will all be rescheduled. His 80-city 'Weapons Of Self Destruction' tour will resume in Jacksonville, Florida on Monday.

Williams is best known for his TV and movie roles, which include sitcom Mork And Mindy and Oscar-winner Good Will Hunting.

His live jaunt is scheduled to visit Broadway in April. His shows in New York, which are his first in the city for seven years, sold out in ten minutes.
