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.
He’s a very popular actor/musician that isn’t looking to wade into any controversy that might damage his popular brand.
That’s just so fucking rock and roll of him.
Some people are content to simply mind their own business. Not everyone is interested in the current controversy.
He did go to Biden’s fundraiser in L.A.
