Jack Black cancels the remainder of the Tenacious D world tour after Kyle Gass makes Trump comment on stage...

Turns out New Zealand won't be seeing the greatest band in the world...

Jack Black and fellow Tenacious D bandmate Kyle Gass were performing in Aussie, as they were about to embark on their two show NZ tour.

The controversy occurred when musician Kyle Gass was presented with a birthday cake on stage in Sydney on Sunday. When asked to make a wish, he said: “don’t miss Trump next time”, hours after a bullet clipped the former President’s ear during the shooting at his Pennsylvania rally.

The backlash had led to the group postponing its Tuesday show in Newcastle, New South Wales, and prompted a prominent Australian senator to call for the duo to be deported.

Black later called time on the Spicy Meatball Tour entirely, saying he was “blindsided” by his bandmate’s comment.

“I would never condone hate speech or encourage political violence in any form,” he wrote.

“After much reflection, I no longer feel it is appropriate to continue the Tenacious D tour, and all future creative plans are on hold. I am grateful to the fans for their support and understanding.”

The band had been due to perform at several other Australian venues before moving on to New Zealand. It was also supposed to resume in October in the US, with dates set in Ohio, Indiana and Pennsylvania.

Information will be released by Frontier Touring about the New Zealand dates / refunds...
