Jack Black has said he’s cancelled the rest of the Tenacious D world tour after his bandmate Kyle Gass sparked an outcry with a comment about the assassination attempt on Donald Trump.The comedy rock group were on stage in Sydney, Australia, on Sunday when Gass was asked to make a wish after being presented with a cake for his 64th birthday.He appeared to reply: "Don’t miss Trump next time."

    So you’re saying Jack Black isn’t wishing Trump had lived, but rather that he’s a spineless coward who refuses to stand against fascism. Damn, I’ll try not to be like him.

      You go say “assassinate people on stage if you don’t like them” to a crowd with more guns than people and where shootings are already a daily occurrence.

      I’d not only be worried for me and my friend but for the people just standing in my audience as well. Remember the time some dude killed a lot of concert goers in Las Vegas i think from his hotel window? That’s a lot more than just risking your own live by saying that.

      Yeah, Tenacious D really has a reputation for holding truth to power, I can’t believe they would do this. Don’t they want to be taken seriously?
