After bandmate Kyle Gass stirred up controversy with a remark regarding the attempted assassination of Donald Trump, Jack Black has announced that he has canceled the remaining dates of Tenacious D's global tour.

On Sunday, as the comedic rock ensemble was performing in Sydney, Australia, Gass was given a cake for his 64th birthday and asked to make a wish.

It seems as though he answered: "Don’t miss Trump next time."

"I would never condone hate speech or encourage political violence in any form," The writer was an actor and comedian.

Saying that he didn't think it was "appropriate to continue the Tenacious D tour", and that the remaining "creative plans are on hold" for the group.

Black continued by saying that he is "grateful to the fans for their support and understanding".

The performance in Newcastle, New South Wales, on Tuesday was already rescheduled as a result of the issue.

The statement he improvised on stage in Sydney on Sunday night was incredibly inappropriate, risky, and a terrible error, he wrote.
 

"I oppose all forms of violence against anyone, in any form. It was a catastrophe, and I sincerely apologize for my gravely imprudent behavior. I really regret any hurt I may have caused and offer my sincere apologies to everyone I have let down."
 

After the incident, Gass also broke up with his agency.

In concert footage from Sydney, many members of the audience can be heard laughing, but Elon Musk, the owner of X, called the comment "evil" and it sparked a backlash on social media.

Senator Ralph Babet of United Australia requested that the band be deported.

He added in a statement that the two should "be immediately removed from the country after wishing for the assassination of Donald Trump at their Sydney concert".

At a rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday, a gunman opened fire, striking Trump in the ear.

Thomas Matthew Crooks, a 20-year-old Republican registered worker from Bethel Park, Pennsylvania, was the gunman who attacked Trump, according to the FBI.

After Crooks fired shots at the former president, a Secret Service sniper fatally shot him. Two spectators suffered significant injuries, and one spectator lost their life.
