Dick Van Dyke could not attend the comedy event, Vandy Camp, which he was supposed to host due to some illness.
The 99-year-old actor had to cancel last minute, as his wife, Arlene Silver announced at the Arlene & Dick Van Dyke Theater at Malibu High School on Saturday, June 28.
The Mary Poppins star had to opt out because of illness, as Arlene informed during her speech, as per People Magazine.
She began by saying, she was "not the Van Dyke you're expecting. I have to inform you that Dick is not up to coming to celebrate with us today. I'm sorry."
The actress continued, "When you're 99 and a half years old, you have good days and bad days ... and unfortunately, today is not a good day for him, and he's sick that he can't be here.”
However, Silver assured fans that she was "pretty confident" Van Dyke would be at the next Vandy Camp event "in person."
Further in her speech, the makeup artist went on to talk about her husband’s dedication to the comedy event.
"It is a celebration of your childhood, all of our childhoods, the music that's in the fabric of all of us, [and] Dick Van Dyke is a big part of that," she said, continuing to note that Van Dyke’s fans "are the greatest human beings I've ever known."
"These Vandy Camp [events] are a wonderful opportunity to have you all in the same room and meet each other," she added.
