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 literally called for people to assassinate Clinton in 2016.

Exactly. This wasn't an attempt on your run of the mill republican shitbag. This man is a real fucking threat and so are all of his supporters/followers.

he doesn't have to do it,but he doesn't have to be nice to the ones crying about agent orange getting shot at. fuck that orange bitch.

Ah so if they have no income or anything else to lose, they'll talk mad shit about assassinating a person. Yeah I guess that makes sense. Having absolutely fuck all to lose tends to lead to shit talk

if this were the case, it would have happened sooner. people are not in the best place over the last few years, living literally paycheck to paycheck. I'd bet stats would show higher suicide rates recently than before.

You all somehow are missing the point that an anonymous commenter saying shit isn't significant compared with a person losing future work for years. Yes JB is a millionaire but he surely still has the right to work and it would be absolutely fucking moronic to give that up to stand behind something any media company wants plenty of distance from. What the fuck would it prove anyway? "We should all want terrible people dead. Hey in fact let's all openly talk about that all the time too. Don't agree? Fuuuuck youuu!!" Stupid.

Internet users really seem insulated from reality sometimes. It's sad.

lol because we expect people to choose real world stances and fight issues rather than "well if I say I don't like a bad person, I may lose money over it, so I wont stand for basic human rights and morals because it may hurt my wallet". jack black is a pussy after throwing his partner under the bus.
