Country star Garth Brooks was scheduled to appear on several shows this week, including Thanksgiving edition of “The Tonight Show.” But his conscience won’t let him do it anymore. Because of … Ferguson?

More from The Hollywood Reporter:

“We landed in NY last night to the news of the civil unrest that was going on in our nation. To spend the day promoting our stuff like nothing was wrong, seemed distasteful to me,” Brooks wrote in a statement posted on his Facebook page. “I will gladly reschedule any or all appearances the networks will allow. Love one another, g”

Brooks appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show on Tuesday, but that appearance was pretaped. The country superstar was scheduled to appear on Tuesday’s Live! With Kelly and Michael, on Thursday’s Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and Friday’s Today.

“Love one another, g”
He took that to heart while he was with his first wife but “with” (allegedly) Trish Yearwood.

Well, I've given it a lot of thought...and I can't see as I give a rat's ass what Garth Brooks does.

I guess that makes me racist, too?

Asshat Garth ought to stick to being Chris Gaines:

How stupid...Ferguson didn’t call off the riots for Garth. Glad I didn’t buy tickets to his stupid concert, saved enough to buy another gun.

Hey Garth— do a benefit concert for the shop owners in Ferguson to help rebuild their business. Wouldn’t that be so much better?

I have decided in support of my “brethern” in Ferguson to take frequent trips to the bathrodm. . .

Just another leftist a-hole who cares so much about a THUG yet doesn’t speak out about the countless number of children being murdered in Chicago by black thugs

The industry said he was a bigger country superstar than Johnny Cash.

Hey Garth!

You're not worthy, you're not worthy...

Right on the mark!

Garth isn’t fit enough to wipe the sweat off of Johnny Cash’s b*lls!
