Following the contentious remarks made by one of the band members regarding the attempted assassination of Donald Trump, the Tenacious D tour has been cancelled. Actor Jack Black urged American musician and band member Kyle Gass to make a wish during the comedy rock event in Sydney. Gass responded, “Don’t miss Trump next time.”
Comedian and actor Mr. Black made the decision to postpone the pair’s tour. “What was mentioned at the show on Sunday caught me off guard. In an Instagram post, he stated, “I would never support hate speech or advocate political violence in any manner.
“After giving it some thought, I’ve decided that it is no longer suitable to carry out the Tenacious D tour, and I’ve put a stop to any further creative preparations. I am appreciative of the fans’ understanding and support. It was audible that some audience members were giggling at Mr. Gass’s remark.
Senator Ralph Babet of the Australia Party was among the first to denounce the remarks demanding that Tenacious D be “removed from the country” right away. He declared on July 16 that “it is egregious, disgusting, filthy, evil, and not acceptable in any way, shape, or form” to support and/or wish for the death of a president.
“To support the shooting and attempted assassination of Donald J. Trump, the 45th and soon-to-be 47th President of the United States, is to endorse anything less than deportation.” Elon Musk, the owner of X, also called the comment on camera “Evil.”
Gass Regrets Comment
On July 16, Mr. Gass, a guitarist and singer for Tenacious D, apologised. He posted on Instagram, saying, “The line I improvised Sunday night in Sydney was highly inappropriate, dangerous and a terrible mistake.”
“I oppose violence against anyone, in any form or circumstance. It was a catastrophe, and I sincerely apologise for my gravely imprudent behaviour. I really regret any hurt I may have caused and offer my sincere apologies to everyone I have let down. In response to Mr. Gass, a number of performers and musicians offered their support.
Kevin Weisman, a film actor, stated, “Love you, buddy. You have a golden heart, and you always will. The Dan Band’s founder Dan Finnerty continued, saying, “Kyle, everybody who knows you knows you didn’t really mean it. You acknowledged that you made a mistake and offered an apology, which is more than we often see in individuals these days.
