Jack Black has canceled the rest of Tenacious D's tour after his bandmate Kyle Gass was angered by Donald Trump's assassination attempt. The comedians 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 meant to answer: "Don't miss Trump again."
In a statement posted on Instagram, Black said he was "blindsided" by the comments.
"I will not tolerate hate speech or incite any form of political violence," wrote the comedian and actor.
He said he doesn't think it's safe to tour with Tenacious D and others who have "creative plans pending".
Black also said that he "thanks the fans for their support and understanding."
The dispute has already led to the postponement of Tuesday's game in Newcastle, New South Wales.
Gass apologized for the Instagram post, saying it was "no offense."
wrote: “The line I recorded on the platform on Sunday night in Sydney was wrong, dangerous and a terrible mistake. What happened was a tragedy and I am very sorry for my lack of judgment. I apologize to those I have wronged, and I am deeply sorry for the pain I have caused. "
Gas fired at his employer after the incident.
"We are devastated by what happened," Michael Greene of Greene Talent told alkhabrfdakika News.
Although many people in Sydney may have laughed at the video of the concert, the comments on social media were outraged - the owner of X, Elon Musk, described it as "bad".
United Australia Senator Ralph Babet called for the union to be expelled.
wrote in its announcement that the two men will be removed from the country immediately after they wanted the death of Donald Trump and their concert in Sydney.
Trump was shot in the ear when a gunman opened fire at a rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday.
According to the FBI, the gunman who targeted Trump was Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, a kitchen worker from Bethel Park, Pennsylvania, and a registered Republican. In 1, Crooks was shot dead by a sniper after he opened fire on the former president. One spectator died and two others were seriously injured.
