William Shatner Not Attending Leonard Nimoy's Funeral

Star Trek’s Leonard Nimoy passed away yesterday due to end-stage chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

The funeral is being held tomorrow, and now it’s learned that William Shatner, who played Spock’s commanding officer on Star Trek, will not be able to attend.

William Shatner tweeted out that he is attending a charity even in Florida and won’t be able to make it in time for Spock’s funeral.

I am currently in FL as I agreed to appear at the Red Cross Ball tonight. Leonard’s funeral is tomorrow. I can’t make it back in time.

I feel really awful. Here I am doing charity work and one of my dearest friends is being buried.
