    I heard Robin Williams is getting heart valve surgery, anyone know?

    Was the damage from IV drugs?

    I heard the same thing. I also heard his tour was rescheduled/postponed and will resume after he's back on his feet. I know age sometimes has nothing to do with it but he's still somewhat young for this kind of procedure, no?

    Best wishes to him.

    My stepmum died in heart valve operation in the fall... she was only 50. :(

    Williams was a boozer and a cokehead. Coke helped him to calm down and escape into more of a quiet time (unlike most who get all amped up). After Belushi died, that scared him into going cold turkey, about six months after his son was born.

    I lived in Reno and saw him at a dumpy little club called 'Lips', about eight miles off the strip on S. Virginia Street. A friend took me to see this 'nobody' comedian at this dive and he was pretty darn funny! This was in 1975, before Mork and Mindy was launched.
