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.

Then go on the Tonight Show and talk about it you idiot, if that’s how you feel -> http://t.co/pJOqcbv0yf

@brandondarby If he feels that way, he should show up and talk about it on the show. To just bow out is ridiculous.

@brandondarby @KatiePavlich Kind of full of himself. No one would care or notice or RELATE it to Ferguson.
