Jack Black cancels Tenacious D tour and places future projects on hold after Kyle Gass comments on Trump
bbc.co.uk
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.

When Trump has had time to rape America into a christian nationalist ethnostate
In one or a hundred years it will still be bizarre to think that standing up for political violence is useful on any level. It doesn't matter if you want trump dead. It's the fact you think "standing up" for it changes anything an iota for the better
Standing up? As opposed to what? Supporting the system that birthed a class of corrupt officials in a little over one hundred years? Or just letting it flatten me and my family?
This is real. Real shit happens. If you are the one dialing for violence, and you've been stirring that shit up for years, dont be surprised when violence comes out the oven. Its about time people got mad. Its about time we said fuck you. You can't do that. You can't hide history from us. You can't ban books. You can't take away the one thing a fucking society is supposed to do for us. Its about damn time.
You're one of those people on the Internet who has no idea what's being said, goes on an irrelevant condescending tangent, and somehow has no idea that's what's happened. Not my issue
You're just following me at this point. If you dont like me block me.
Bizarre thing to say to someone who simply responded to your messages
We can see your reply history bud
LMAO you just accused me of stalking you
Alright, you know what? Dont worry. I'll take care of it.
