Jack Black cancels Tenacious D tour and places future projects on hold after Kyle Gass comments on Trump
Kyle Gass sparked an outcry with a comment on stage about the assassination attempt on Donald Trump.
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.
You're viewing a single thread.
I mean to be honest half the world is probably saying the same thing.
Half of America is wishing it too, even if not vocalized.
The problem being the other half isn't.
Only America’s allies
I assume Jack and his team probably started recieving threats from the crowd that shot at Trump (republicans).
I guess attempting to kill and joking about killing Trump is a privilege that only republicans enjoy
TBH I don't give a single solitary fuck who Republicans think or don't think is allowed to do anything. That doesn't mean Jack Black has to risk his life over some ha has.
This barely would be known if it wasn't for them splitting up over about it though. They said it to an Australian crowd. They ain't doing anything about it.
There have been no statements about the band ending, but they have almost certainly ended the Australian Tour, sadly. Gass has also been dropped by Greene Talent agency, so he might have to work to regain trust from the business suits if they want to do big events again. Both Gass and Black have both been apologetic and on the same page with their public statements.
They once wrote and performed a song about killing politicians and ruling as idiot kings, they'll be fine.
Ahh, think I misinterpreted Black's "all future creative plans are on hold" statement. Forgetting the "on hold" part.
The last thing we need is this piece of shit to become a martyr. Let him go down beaten by a black woman at the polls, like the loser he is.
At this point Trump being shot is the best thing that could happen to the Republican party. And I wish them only the worst.
