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.

I find the outrage hilarious considering the rhetoric that comes out of trumps mouth.

Agreed, kind of a dumb comment to make in front of a large crowd. But the reaction is way overblown.

If comedians are becoming afraid then you know something is very wrong.

Daily Show and now these guys canceled events. This is not good.
