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.

Jack Black is trying to use his massive A-list star power to get Biden elected, something that will actually help people. Kyle Gass made an offhanded joke that could jeopardize that. So Jack Black needs to distance himself, and I'll bet you money Kyle Gass agrees with him.

It's an impossible situation to be in, but I kind of agree with Jack Black's move on this. He can do more good as a Hollywood A-lister for Biden than he can as an "edgy" rock star with a guy nobody's ever heard of.

Y'all burying the lead here: Kyle blew on a birthday cake and made a wish but he spoke it out loud! Now it'll never come true. :(

That's not very rock and roll, Jack.

What a fucking cowardly statement.

Hey Jack, I love you. But eat a fucking dick, coward.

Honestly this just makes me sad.

I thought better of JB. This is a far cry from a call for political violence.

This is like saying "come on, guys, Hitler is a person too and we shouldn't be wishing bad things on them" in the 1930s.

I can't imagine being so spineless I'd throw my friend under the bus over a comment that, honestly as far as I'm concerned doesn't go far enough.

money > convictions

spineless response by him in my opinion.

He swims in money. And their financial success would continue regardless.
