Jack Black announced on Instagram that he’s cancelled the rest of the Tenacious D world tour and placed future projects on hiatus.
This happened after his bandmate Kyle Gass sparked controversy by commenting on the recent Donald Trump assassination attempt.
At their recent Sydney show, Kyle Gass was given a birthday cake and asked to make a wish for his 64th birthday, to which he said “Don’t miss Trump next time.”
In his later statement, Black said he was “blindsided” by his bandmate’s comment and condemned any calls for political violence.
Today I learnt to respect Kyle Gass even more
Nah man, he’s an idiot. Can’t believe he said that.
Everybody knows if you say your wish out loud it doesn’t come true!
My heart dropped at the headline. I was like fuck, here comes some conservative BS.
