Morrissey has apparently pulled out of a duet with Robbie Williams planned for next week's Brit Awards.
Reported in today's Sun newspaper, an insider revealed that a proposed appearance by the unlikely pairing was quashed after the former Smiths' singer got cold feet.
The unnamed insider explained: "It was all set to go and then Morrissey decided it was not the right thing for him to do. He has passed on his apologies to Robbie."
What they were proposed to sing has not been revealed.
Morrissey will be battling it out against Jamie Cullum, Lemar, Will Young and Mike Skinner of The Streets for the title of Best British Male at Wednesday's awards.
Robbie Williams' "Angels" is pitted against Joy Division's "Love Will Tear Us Apart", Kate Bush's "Wuthering Heights", Queen's "We Are the Champions" and Will Young's "Leave Right Now" in the Brits 25 Best Song category.
