Robin Williams has been admitted to a south Florida hospital after complaining of a respiratory problem, according to the Miami Herald. Therefore the actor has had to pull out of scheduled performances because of the reported health problems.

According to a press release, doctors are evaluating his condition and have recommended a week of rest. "Williams was experiencing shortness of breath and is currently being evaluated by doctors who are recommending a week of rest," the statement said.

Williams had been scheduled to perform in Orlando and Tampa: Wednesday and Thursday at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida; Friday at the UFC Arena in Orlando; and Saturday at the Sundome in Tampa.

The cancelled shows will all be rescheduled. However the 57-year-old actor will continue his 80-city tour on Monday in Jacksonville, also in Florida. Williams has been on his “Weapons of Mass-Destruction” tour since September.
