The English singer had cancelled his appearance late the night before he was supposed to perform after he learned the cast of the A&E reality TV show Duck Dynasty, who had made their fortune selling duck hunting equipment in Louisiana, were also going to be guests on the talk show on the same night.
Morrissey is a vegan and avid animal rights activist (so much so, he refuses meat to be sold at concession stands the night of his concerts), and said in a statement that he likened the cast of the popular reality show to mass murderers.

As a consolation, Jimmy had local Denver rock group
