Gass has since apologized for a comment that left Black “blindsided” during their Sunday concert, calling it a “terrible mistake” and denouncing “violence of any kind.”
During a performance in Sydney on Sunday—only a day after shots were fired at Trump during his rally in rural Pennsylvania—Gass celebrated his 64th birthday onstage. Black asked his bandmate to “make a wish” as he blew out candles on a birthday cake. “Don’t miss Trump next time,” Gass replied, to some laughter from the audience. “I was blindsided by what was said at the show on Sunday,” Black wrote on Instagram Tuesday.
I profoundly apologize to those I’ve let down and truly regret any pain I’ve caused.” Backlash to Gass’s comment was swift. The pair’s next show in Newcastle, Australia, was postponed, the concert promoter announced in a Facebook post, and an Australian senator asked that Black and Gass be deported from the country.
