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.

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.
