David Tennant has left fans furious after he abruptly cancelled an appearance at a massive fan event.
The Doctor Who actor, 54, had been expected to meet fans at Emerald City Comic Con but has pulled out with just weeks to go.
David has blamed a conflict of schedules, but people who had hoped to meet him aren’t happy.
Disappointed fans are now being offered refunds for pre-booked photo opportunities and autographs.

David Tennant leaves fans left fuming
David shared the news on X, formerly Twitter, apologising to fans.
Emerald City Comic Con is a major four-day event in Seattle, running from March 5-8, 2026. Star Wars icons William Shatner and Hayden Christensen are still scheduled to appear.
In his announcement, David said: “Hello, Emerald City. David Tennant here. I’m really sad to say I just can’t make it to the convention next month.
“I’m gutted. I thought I was going to be able to make it. But my schedule is just getting more and more squeezed and getting in and out for just one day has finally defeated me.
“I’m so sorry, I know you’ll have a wonderful time because I’ve been there and it’s great. I really hope you’ll ask me again next year.”
He ended his message by apologising once more and saying he “misses everyone.”
