Star Trek fans may be surprised to hear that William Shatner won't be attending Leonard Nimoy's funeral tomorrow. The two were longtime friends after starring together as Captain Kirk and Spock. Shatner tweeted a photo of the two, saying he loved Nimoy like a brother after the 83-year-old actor's death yesterday. However, he is "stuck" in Florida for a charity event tonight and can't make the funeral.

I am so humbled by the worldwide outpouring of love that has been displayed; words cannot express my feelings.

I've been avoiding social media (actually all media) for the past 24 hours. So I do apologize.

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.
