The latest show on Tenacious D’s Australian tour has been postponed after senator Ralph Babet demanded the pair be deported following an apparent joke about the assassination attempt on Donald Trump.
American comedy rock duo Jack Black and Kyle Gass were due to perform in Newcastle on Tuesday evening, but the show – part of the band’s Spicy Meatball Tour – was cancelled without notice on Tuesday afternoon.
Concert promoter Frontier Touring said on social media that it regretted “to advise that Tenacious D’s concert tonight at Newcastle Entertainment Centre has been postponed”.
Video from the event showed (Kyle) Gass being presented with a birthday cake and told to “make a wish” as he blew out the candles. Gass then appeared to say “don’t miss Trump next time” – just hours after the shooting at Trump’s rally in Pennsylvania that left the former president injured.
Coward for having his own opinion? So anyone who doesn’t agree with you is a coward?
Canceling an entire tour, that people already bought tickets and travel for, over a small gaff made off the cuff by someone who has been his friend longer than a large amount of Lemmy has been alive, is fucking cowardice. And this is 100% a PR firms opinion and we will never know whatever JBs true feelings are because, again, hes a coward and will never speak out about it for fears it might upset his money train.
I wish i had a time machine to kill hitler.
Hey now easy, don’t call for political violence.
Didn’t work when they took out Jenkins either.
Anyone who sees the writing on the wall would’ve backed Kyle up. Our country is in deep trouble. I know it, Jack knows it, you know it, we all know it. The head of project 25 literally said things will “remain bloodless” in the midst of the “second American revolution” if “the left allows it”. You understand what that means right? I stand with Kyle.
