E! reports that former Smiths frontman Morrissey has canceled tonight’s scheduled appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live after learning he would be appearing on the same night as cast members of A&E’s reality show Duck Dynasty. 

“Morrissey is thankful for being invited to perform on Jimmy Kimmel Live [on], Feb. 26,” his rep told E!. “Morrissey would be honored to play the show, if Duck Dynasty were removed.

Morrissey himself echoed the sentiment. “As far as my reputation is concerned, I can’t take the risk of being on a show alongside people who, in effect, amount to animal serial killers,” said the singer, who recently decreed that no meat would be served at his Staples Center show on March 1.

“If Jimmy cannot dump Duck Dynasty,” he continued, “then we must step away.”
