Washington (CNN) - Former Vice President Joe Biden canceled a planned appearance in Illinois this week because he is sick and "under doctor's orders not to travel," according to state Democrats.

"Everyone who knows Vice President Biden knows that he gives our party and our country his all, but unfortunately he is sick and is under doctor's orders not to travel," Illinois Democratic County Chairs' Association President Doug House said in a statement posted to Facebook Tuesday night.

Biden, 75, was scheduled as a keynote speaker for the Illinois Democrats County Chairs' Association brunch in Springfield, Illinois. The event kicks off Democrats' Day at the Illinois State Fair.

"The cancellation is of course disappointing, but it is clear that the circumstances are simply unavoidable," House said.

4. Awaiting Trump's tweet ...

Awaiting Trump's tweet attacking an ailing Biden.

5. And you just know his fingers are itching

He can't go without being insulting and snarky.

6. Dammit.

I am leaving soon to attend this event.

[Frustratedlady]

7. I don't like the sound of that.

I hope this is just a virus and the dr. was concerned because of the heat.

Take care, Joe. We need you healthy and hale.

8. Hope it's not serious. Not specifying the illness and "under doctor's orders" are always worrisome.

Why he didn't run in 2016 is confounding.

10. Could be innocuous or

even a test of the age issue.

Sometimes older folks have minor conditions that prevent plane travel for a period of time

11. A lot of that was timing

He and his family were still in so much pain after losing Beau. Had things been a little different, I am quite sure that Joe would now be president of the United States. Trump would be no match for Joe.

[Snellius]

15. Yes. Know how devastating that can be. Worse than any physical pain.

And for many years. If not forever.
