Dane Cook's upcoming shows this week in Florida have been cancelled due to recent personal matters, publicists say.  The dates that are affected are Tallahassee on Oct. 21 (Leon County Civic Center), Gainesville, on Oct. 22 (Stephen O’Connell Center), West Palm Beach, on Oct. 23 (Cruzan Amphitheatre) and Tampa on Oct. 24 (1-800-ASK-GARY Amphitheatre).

'I appreciate all the support from my fans in Florida and I promise you all, that I will be back soon," said Cook.

Ticket holders will be offered the opportunity to be placed on a priority notification for premium seating for all of Dane's rescheduled Florida dates in the future. Refunds are available at the point of purchase.

The tour will continue as planned through 30 cities in the United States and Canada starting back up in Syracuse, N.Y., on Tuesday Oct. 26, and concluding on Saturday, Dec. 4.

The comedian’s 2010 tour had been scheduled to coincide with the release of a new greatest hits comedy album on Nov. 23.
