The comedy rock duo Tenacious D has cancelled the remaining dates on its “Spicy Meatball Tour” of Australia, New Zealand and the United States, after band member Kyle Gass made comment about the recent assassination attempt on Donald Trump. Jack Black, the band’s other, more famous member, is distancing himself from the remark.
The comment was made Sunday during a show in Sydney, Australia. It was Gass’s 64th birthday, and Black told him to “make a wish” for his birthday as a cake was brought out on the stage. Gass responded: “Don’t miss Trump next time.” Many in the crowd cheered, and Black replied: “Thank you.”
A clip of his remark was widely shared on social media yesterday. Chris Loesch, a singer-songwriter and husband of radio personaility Dana Loesch, commented: “Not funny and done in a foreign country is even worse.”
