Martin Short has postponed his upcoming comedy shows following the sudden death of his daughter.
The 75-year-old actor was set to hit the stage with Steve Martin this weekend in Milwaukee and Minneapolis for their comedy tour, titled The best of Steve Martin and Martin Short.
Now both shows have been postponed.
“Due to unforeseen circumstances, the Steve Martin and Martin Short show originally scheduled for Friday, February 27 in Milwaukee has been postponed,” Pabst Theater Group shared on their website.
“Tickets will be honored for a future rescheduled date. We will stay in touch with more news as it becomes available,” the statement said.
This cancellation comes after the sudden death of the Martins’ daughter. Katherine, adopted by Martin and his late wife Nancy Dolman, was found unresponsive in a home in the Hollywood Hills on Friday, October 23.
“It is with deep sadness that we confirm the passing of Katherine Hartley Short,” the Short family said in a statement shared with People magazine.
“The Short family is devastated by this loss and requests privacy at this time. Katherine was loved by all and will be remembered for the light and joy she brought into the world,” she added.
