Robin Williams to have heart surgery

By GottaLaff

A breaking news banner just popped up on MSNBC saying that my old pal Robin Williams will be having surgery. Yesterday it was reported that he had shortness of breath, which set off alarm bells in my little noggin. Unfortunately, my concern was for good reason.

Fingers crossed for Robin. He's a sweet, generous, brilliant guy.

He'll be undergoing an aortic valve replacement, per his publicist.

His older brother died two years ago from heart surgery complications, according to Wikipedia.

Thinking good thoughts.
