Jack Black announced on social media that he’s canceling Tenacious D‘s current tour amid blowback against band partner Kyle Gass, who made a controversial comment at the band’s concert in Australia on July 14 related to the assassination attempt on Donald Trump. Black presented a cake to Gass on stage to celebrate the latter’s 64th birthday. When Black then asked Gass to make a wish, Gass responded: “Don’t miss Trump next time.”
“I was blindsided by what was said at the show on Sunday,” Black wrote in a follow-up statement. “I would never condone hate speech or encourage political violence in any form.”

"Let me explain to people who have never worked a concert venue before.
After Jack Black & his band Tenacious D celebrated the near assassination of Trump on Saturday they got about 10,000 calls and texts from all the concert venues they’d booked canceling their reservations. You see these places have to carry insurance to cover any mass casualty event. Some places it’s literally the law they have to have a certain level of coverage."
Gee that’s sad.
Road apples.
“I would never condone hate speech or encourage political violence in any form.” - Black
Bull S**t!
Noooo....
I’m sorry.....that we got caught
Ciao porky
perp has now been dropped by talent agent.
When you go Black, you never go back.
He thought it was hilarious until money on the table started to disappear.
Never heard of any of them.
“I would never condone hate speech or encourage political violence in any form.”
Yet he didn’t immediately shut it down or fire the punk on the spot.
If you don’t punish it, you’re condoning it.
Sad, that he's another hateful Hollywood leftist.
So, how does it feel. Jack, to have the shoe on the other foot???
These guys make the Dixie Chicks look smart in comparison.
Those two look like ridiculous older clowns onstage anyway. Queue up the Bozo theme song.
Jack Black and his band mates still need a tune up.
It’s all fun and games until somebody loses their performance contracts.
This jerk has been professing his hatred for Trump for years. He is just sorry they said the quiet part out loud.
Blindsided? BS
