Weeks after musician and actor Jack Black appeared at Joe Biden's Hollywood fundraiser to tell people "democracy is at stake," he's canceled the rest of his Australian tour after bandmate Kyle Gass said on Sunday that his birthday wish would be "don't miss Trump next time."

BREAKING: Jack Black and Tenacious D are halting all future shows after bandmate Kyle Gass said on stage he wishes Trump was shot and k*lled.

In a new statement, Black says he was blindsided by the statement and was postponing shows. "I was blindsided by what was said at the show on Sunday.

I would never condone hate speech or encourage political violence in any form."

"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."

Blindsided, you say?


Australians were outraged at Gass's comment - with senator Ralph Babet demanding that the pair be deported.

"I call on the prime minister Anthony Albanese to join me in denouncing Tenacious D, Jack Black and band member Kyle Gass, and I call on the immigration minister Andrew Giles to revoke their visas and deport them immediately," Babet said on Tuesday. "Anything less than a deportation is an endorsement of the shooting and the attempted assassination of Donald J Trump," he continued, adding that allowing the band to remain in Australia was "unthinkable."



Of course, it doesn't take a NASA scientist to figure out why Black actually canceled the tour...

This is what responsible leadership looks like.

If immediate action is not taken by the sitting government to remove these reprobates from our country, it is yet another stain on our failing reputation and a continued diminution of our moral values.

No-one should argue against this. It is antithetical to a civilised world to accept this kind of barbaric rhetoric, no matter your political viewpoint. And, in this case, apathy and/or silence IS acceptance.

Kick them out.
