Martin Short has postponed his comedy tour with Steve Martin following the death of his daughter, Katherine Short, at the age of 42. Her passing was confirmed by Short's representatives on Tuesday.
The Best of Steve Martin & Martin Short tour has postponed dates at Milwaukee's Miller High Life Theatre on 27 February and two shows in Minneapolis on 28 February. A notice on the venue's website stated that tickets would be honoured for a rescheduled date.
Katherine was the eldest of three children adopted by Martin Short and his late wife Nancy Dolman, who died of ovarian cancer in 2010. She worked as a licensed clinical social worker and held degrees from New York University and the University of Southern California.
Short's representative said: 'It is with profound grief that we confirm the passing of Katherine Hartley Short. The Short family is devastated by this loss, and asks for privacy at this time.' The cause of death has not been officially confirmed, but the Los Angeles Police Department responded to a call at her home on Monday evening.
