Hollywood actor Jack Black’s music project, Tenacious D, have canceled their remaining Australia and New Zealand dates and suspended any creative plans, after guitarist Kyle Gass publicly joked about the failed assassination attempt of former US President Donald Trump.
Last Sunday, Gass was celebrating his birthday on stage in Sydney when a cake was presented to him. After Black told Gass to make a wish while blowing the candles, Gass joked, “Don’t miss Trump next time,” referring to 20-year-old assailant Thomas Matthew Crooks’ attempt to assassinate Trump at his Pennsylvania rally.
