William Shatner has revealed he will be unable to attend Leonard Nimoy’s funeral.
The actor took to Twitter Saturday to lament that due to prior obligations, he will miss his “Star Trek” co-star and friend’s funeral on Sunday.
“I am currently in FL as I agreed to appear at the Red Cross Ball tonight,” he wrote. “Leonard's funeral is tomorrow. I can't make it back in time.”

I wonder if the family wants Shatner to sing “Lucy In the Sky With Diamonds” at the funeral?

Given the fast turn around on Jewish funerals the family understands not everybody can be there. I’m sure they’d like him to attend but 2 days is a tough turn around. He’ll get there when he can, they’ll commiserate. Adults understand that there are things you can’t attend.

Just what I was thinking. Maybe the execs are in their jets, on their getaways for the weekend.

He should write better contracts with conditional escape clauses. In any case, I would think the Red Cross could let him go to this.
To: Berlin_Freeper
He’s not blaming anybody. Contractual obligations are contractual obligations. He got paid to go there, they’ve been paid by people expecting to rub elbow with him, this happens. People miss funerals because they have other obligations, it happens, funerals are short notice things, and smart folks know the living take precedence, the dead can wait until there’s a hole in your schedule.

Is Nimoy gonna suddenly stop being dead if Shatner gets there on time? Meanwhile, Shatner has a job to do, he’s got plenty of living people he needs to provide for.

Shatner could get himself on a general aviation jet and there if it were warranted.
