Monty Python star Terry Jones has been diagnosed with a severe variant of dementia.
The 74-year-old is suffering from primary progressive aphasia, which affects his ability to communicate.
As a result, Jones "is no longer able to give interviews", his spokesman said.
The news was confirmed as Bafta Cymru announced the Welsh-born comedian is to be honoured with an outstanding contribution award.
The National Aphasia Association describes primary progressive aphasia as a neurological syndrome in which language capabilities become slowly and progressively impaired.
"It commonly begins as a subtle disorder of language, progressing to a nearly total inability to speak, in its most severe stage," their website states.

Him "secretly" putting that note on the arrow while Idle and Graham just started at him cracks me up every time.

It's that way he shoots the arrow that always made me and my dad lose it.

If there's a silver lining to this shitty news, it's that this condition most often only affects the ability to communicate, and the sufferer's other mental faculties usually remain intact. This according to what I've googled anyway.
On second thought, being unable to communicate must be its own special kind of hell, particularly for someone like Jones.
