William Shatner Will Miss Leonard Nimoy's Funeral: I Feel Really Awful

William Shatner wishes he could be in two places at once. The actor tweeted on Saturday, Feb. 28, that he will sadly have to miss the funeral of his late friend and beloved Star Trek costar Leonard Nimoy.

“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,” Shatner, 83, wrote. “I feel really awful. Here I am doing charity work and one of my dearest friends is being buried.”

“So maybe tomorrow we come together here and celebrate his life,” he continued. “So let’s spend some time tomorrow celebrating Leonard’s life and remembering the man. Until tomorrow! #LLAP.”
