Ellen DeGeneres cancels Kim Burrell's appearance on show, after singer's homophobic remark

LOS ANGEELS: Popular host Ellen DeGeneres canceled Kim Burrell's appearance on ' The Ellen Show' despite her scheduled performance after a video emerged last week, showing the singer suggested homosexuals will die in 2017 due to their sins.

"I came to tell you about sin. That sin nature. That perverted homosexual spirit, and the spirit of delusion and confusion, it has deceived many men and women, and it's caused us pain on the body of Christ," Burrell said, according to the video surfaced online.

DeGeneres, who publicly came out as lesbian in 1997, took to Twitter to announce the news.

"For those asking, Kim Burrell will not be appearing on my show," DeGeneres tweeted.

For those asking, Kim Burrell will not be appearing on my show.
