Kyle Gass sparked an outcry with a comment on stage about the assassination attempt on Donald Trump.

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.

    No shortage of Christian terrorism. Just ask any abortion clinic nurse.

    The clinic that did the selective termination that saved my twins’ lives had to be so cloak and dagger about their stuff that we literally had no idea we were showing up to the termination until they’re wheeling my wife back to surgery. It’s one of the only clinics in the state that even does the procedure we needed to my knowledge. That’s how many bomb threats, arson and assassination attempts they deal with.

      Serious question, if you don’t mind. How did a selective termination save twins’ lives? Was your wife originally carrying triplets or quadruplets in a high-risk pregnancy? I’m entirely pro-choice, the wording is just a little odd and I’m having a hard time parsing the meaning.
