Dick Van Dyke 'cancels one-man show'

Dick Van Dyke has been forced to cancel his one-man show due to injury.

The actor pulled out of Dick Van Dyke - Step in Time: A Musical Memoir at the Geffen Theater in Los Angeles after hurting his Achilles tendon, a publicist for the venue told Playbill.

"I very much wish that circumstances allowed me to share my stories at the Geffen this winter," Van Dyke said in a statement.

"Perhaps there will be an opportunity to revisit this sometime in the future, but in the meantime, I thank everyone for their understanding and support."

The show - which was billed as "a living autobiography pulling stories and songs from Van Dyke's celebrated career" - was due to run through to mid-January.
