Jack Black has cancelled the rest of his Tenacious D tour after his bandmate Kyle Gass made a comment on the assassination attempt on Donald Trump on stage on Sunday night.
Mr Gass was asked to make a wish after being presented with a birthday cake on stage and said: "Don't miss Trump next time."The comment led to the comedy rock group's gig in Newcastle, New South Wales, being postponed on Tuesday. Writing on Instagram Mr Black said: "I was blindsided by what was said at the show on Sunday."I would never condone hate speech or encourage political violence in any form.
Tenacious D had been due to perform four more gigs across Australia before travelling to New Zealand.
