Jack Black has said he’s cancelled the rest of the Tenacious D world tour after his bandmate Kyle Gass sparked an outcry with a comment about the assassination attempt on Donald Trump.

The comedy rock group were on stage in Sydney, Australia, on Sunday when Gass was asked to make a wish after being presented with a cake for his 64th birthday.

He appeared to reply: “Don’t miss Trump next time.”

Gass also split with his agent following the incident.

    Don’t get me wrong, I’m not advocating for anyone being assassinated at all. But my point still stands, in that the right has no sense of decorum and everyone else falls over themselves to tone police anything even slightly unseemly.

      Like I say, you’re not wrong on that; I only really said anything because of the topic where it’s being discussed and the implication to this event.

      Somewhere between tone policing, and approving of the assassination of your opponents, the truth lies.
