SPYfest will still go ahead with Australia's only Bond, George Lazenby, the special guest at the event from September 16 to 18 in Goulburn.
"Due to an unforeseen event that has prohibited him from travelling, Frederick Forsyth is unable to attend SPYfest this year," said Wendy Antony, part of the SPYfest organising committee.
"The festival organisers are disappointed that Frederick won't be here in Goulburn to be part of the spy-filled weekend, however we understand his position completely.
"We were so thrilled that Mr Forsyth had accepted our invitation to join us this year and we are saddened that he can no longer be part of this year's event.
"Many months of planning have gone into his itinerary, including the opportunity for Frederick to fulfil a lifelong dream of visiting Ningaloo Reef whilst in Australia. Frederick has also expressed his sadness that he cannot make it as planned," Wendy continued.
Forsyth did express his regret.
"I am deeply sorry and disappointed I won't be able to attend SPYfest. It is with heavy heart I have to pull out. I wish your festival every success," Mr Forsyth said.
