The band canceled its tour after Gass reportedly a joking reference to the Donald Trump assassination attempt on Sunday.The comedy rock duo Tenacious D has cancelled the rest of their tour after band member Kyle Gass’ remarks on the assassination attempt on Donald Trump.
Gass responded, “Don’t miss Trump next time.” The comment, an apparent reference to the assassination attempt against the former president the day before, was widely circulated on social media. The shooting left Trump with an injured ear. “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,” Black said in a Tuesday statement 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 the fans for their support and understanding.
The band recently completed dates in the U.S. and Europe. Their “Spicy Meatball Tour” was slated to continue Tuesday night in Newcastle, hitting most major cities in Australia and New Zealand this month before returning to the U.S. for a select few dates in October.
