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.

Standing up? As opposed to what? Supporting the system that birthed a class of corrupt officials in a little over one hundred years? Or just letting it flatten me and my family?

This is real. Real shit happens. If you are the one dialing for violence, and you've been stirring that shit up for years, dont be surprised when violence comes out the oven. Its about time people got mad. Its about time we said fuck you. You can't do that. You can't hide history from us. You can't ban books. You can't take away the one thing a fucking society is supposed to do for us. Its about damn time.

You're one of those people on the Internet who has no idea what's being said, goes on an irrelevant condescending tangent, and somehow has no idea that's what's happened. Not my issue
