Jack Black has said he’s cancelled the rest of the Tenacious D world tour after his bandmate Kyle Gass sparked an outcry with a comment about the assassination attempt on Donald Trump.

The comedy rock group were on stage in Sydney, Australia, on Sunday when Gass was asked to make a wish after being presented with a cake for his 64th birthday.

He appeared to reply: "Don’t miss Trump next time."

Gass also split with his agent following the incident.

he didn't cancel the tour - they did. Kyle Gass is as much a member of the band as Jack Black is

Jack Black sure makes it sound one-sided.

You're right about that - he doesn't say 'we' once in that statement

normally, people dismiss Gass a lot when talking about Tenacious D, but that statement really seems like it was only Jack's decision

thanks for telling me
