Things took another odd turn after his controversial remarks over the weekend.
Republican presidential candidate former President Donald Trump is helped off the stage at a campaign event in Butler, Pa., on Saturday, July 13, 2024. Gass, one half of the popular rock duo Tenacious D, got attention for all the wrong reasons when he was presented a birthday cake on stage during the group’s Sunday show in Australia and told to “make a wish.”The aftermath has not been kind for Gass and his bandmate, actor Jack Black.
Black took to Instagram to claim he was “blindsided” by the comment while announcing the cancellation of the rest of the band’s tour, which included an October stop in State College.Rock star who told fans he wished shooter didn’t miss Trump gets more bad news “The line I improvised onstage Sunday night in Sydney was highly inappropriate, dangerous and a terrible mistake,” Gass wrote on Instagram. “I don’t condone violence of any kind, in any form, against anyone. What happened was a tragedy, and I’m incredibly sorry for my severe lack of judgement. I profoundly apologize to those I’ve let down and truly regret any pain I’ve caused.”

“I would never condone hate speech or encourage political violence in any form,” he wrote on Instagram. “After much reflection, I no longer feel it is appropriate to continue the Tenacious D tour, and all future creative plans are on hold. I am grateful to fans for their support and understanding.”If you purchase a product or register for an account through a link on our site, we may receive compensation.
