John Travolta Won't Attend Golden Globes

John Travolta has decided not to attend tonight's Golden Globe Awards as he continues to mourn the death of his 16-year-old son Jett.

The actor's rep tells "The Insider" that John, who was scheduled to present at the show, has cancelled his planned appearance. His latest movie 'Bolt' is nominated for Best Animated Feature and for Best Original Song for his duet with costar Miley Cyrus.

Jett Travolta died tragically after suffering a seizure on Jan. 2 during a family vacation in the Bahamas. John and his wife Kelly Preston held a memorial service for their son Thursday in Ocala, FL.
