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.

    Trump gets on mic everyday to wish death on some innocent groups of people but we’re fucking forbidden from joking about it towards him

    So you want the freedom to be like Trump?

    Personally I’d rather no one had the ability to wish violence on others without consequence. But I guess to each their own.
