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.

jesus christ, do i have to do everything for you? he'a acting like a great guy and saying "political violence is bayud" but we've put up with trumps shit for years and he obviously doesn't feel that way, clearly his bandmate doesn't and isn't afraid to say it, but jack's playing PC to appease everyone and look holier than thou.

I agree. And old (young) Jack Black would be disgusted.
