Earlier this month, John Barrowman confirmed that his mother Marion had been hospitalised and he had to pull out of Geek'd Con to be with her. In a social media video shared on Tuesday, the 59-year-old Doctor Who star explained that Marion was in intensive care, and he wanted to join his father John and other family members there.
"Hey everybody, this is a message to everyone who is heading to Louisiana for Geek'd Con. Unfortunately, I'm gonna have to cancel this weekend. My mother is still in intensive care, and I feel it's only appropriate that I'm here with her and my dad and the rest of the family. So I hope you understand, again go and have a great time- there's lots of guests coming have a wonderful Con," said John.
He went on to say: "Support the LGBTQIA+ community, make some videos to tell my Mum to get better. I would love that and sport those flags and all the rainbow flags and post those videos so I can watch them. I'm sorry I was looking forward to coming but unfortunately circumstances mean that I can't so lots of love to everybody and have a great time."
John revealed on August 10th that his mum had been "rushed to hospital overnight" in a separate Twitter message in which he confirmed he wouldn't be attending Huntington ComicCon. He wrote: "My mother was rushed into the hospital last night and she is not very well. I think it's only right that I stay with my family at this time."
John has yet to confirm what's wrong with Marion, but he is hopeful for her health. He ended his video with a message of encouragement for the Geek'd Con attendees and those who wish to support his family. "Have lots of fun ConFamily. I want to see pictures! Hopefully I will be with you next year. Lots of love and thanks for understanding."
