Dick Van Dyke Cancels Fan Convention Appearance

Dick Van Dyke, the 98-year-old entertainment icon, has canceled his upcoming appearance at the FanX Salt Lake Comic & Pop Culture Convention, scheduled for September 26-29, due to health concerns related to his age. Event organizers announced that he is unable to travel and interact with large crowds, expressing gratitude to his supporters. Van Dyke also missed the 2024 Primetime Emmy Awards, where he was slated to present an award, further raising concerns about his well-being. Despite these cancellations, he appeared in good spirits during a recent outing in Malibu, humorously stating, "I feel old" and joking about his upcoming 99th birthday in December. The beloved actor recently made history by winning an Emmy for his special "Dick Van Dyke: 98 Years of Magic," but remains open to future work, stating, "I'm looking for work if anybody has." Fans have expressed understanding of his situation, wishing him well during this challenging time.
