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.

    It would be considered Self Defence to shoot the person who has already waved a bat at you, and just got done beating up the crowd behind them.

    In case metaphors don’t work for you; Trump already told his goons to attack the capitol because he didn’t like the results. He will do it again, letting him do so is being a defeatist like you so very much wish to be.

    As far as voting goes; I did vote, I voted for bernie in 2016, I voted for Joe in 2020. I begged for there to be anybody but Joe again this year. All I’ve learned so far is that it does not matter who I vote for, democrats will not fix anything, and they’ll actually spite you for voting for them, because in reality it helps them a whole hell of a lot more when a republican wins.

    I’m not advocating for any action to be done, but I sure can be extremely disappointed that this assassination attempt will only help him, and the fact that we have so many people and politicians like you who are sticking up for him.
