Comedian Bob Mortimer has undergone a successful triple bypass heart operation and following the operation, he will need to rest and recuperate for several weeks.

For this reason, the first leg of the upcoming UK tour 25 Years of Reeves and Mortimer – The Poignant Moments has been cancelled.

All ticket holders for performances from November 8 – December 4 2015 should contact their point of purchase for a full refund.

Promoters hope that the January and February 2016 shows will go ahead as planned.

A spokesperson for Bob Mortimer, said: “Bob would like to thank his Consultant and all the nursing staff at the hospital for looking after him so well.

“He now needs several weeks to fully recover, so unfortunately the first leg of the UK tour will be cancelled.

“Bob very much hopes to be fit and well enough to perform the second leg in January next year.”
