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.

Personally I was hoping for a heart attack. Did anyone think an assassination, successful or not, wouldn't just lead to a complete shit-show?

I was hoping the "excitement" of almost being killed would have lead to a heart attack, but who am I kidding? This is The Worst Timelineā„¢ everything goes to shit and the absolute worst of us live forever and get everything they want...

This is The Worst Timelineā„¢

Watch out, next time a bullet grazes him, he'll get superpowers instead

a shit show yes, but maybe less of a shitshow than a second term as POTUS.
