The 53-year-old former Smiths frontman said he cancelled his appearance on ABC TV’s Jimmy Kimmel Live because he could not perform on a show with people who “amount to animal serial killers”.

The Duck Dynasty TV show follows the Robertson family of Louisiana and its business selling duck calls and decoys. The production channel did not respond to requests for comment from the Robertson family.
