Doohan Bids Fans Farewell

James Doohan, who played Scotty in the original Star Trek, will make what is being billed as his last convention appearance, Aug. 28-30, in Hollywood, Calif., the official Trek Web site reported. Planet Xpo is sponsoring the convention, called "Beam Me Up Scotty ... One Last Time," at the Rennaisance Hollywood Hotel.

Doohan will be joined by the entire remaining cast of Star Trek on Sunday afternoon, including William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, Nichelle Nichols, Walter Koenig, Majel Barrett Roddenberry and Grace Lee Whitney, plus dozens of guest stars from the classic Trek series and movies, the site reported.

On the previous Friday, Aug. 27, Doohan is scheduled to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, though the star has not been formally announced by the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce.

Is this because he's ill?

I believe its age related. He's in his 80's I think.
