00:00Jack Black just canceled the remaining shows for the Tenacious detour, after his bandmate
00:05commented on Trump's assassination attempt at a recent show.
00:09On Saturday, July 19, while attending a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, an assassination
00:14attempt was made against former President Donald Trump.
00:17The presidential candidate took to Truth Social following the incident to write,
00:21"'I was shot with a bullet that pierced the upper part of my right ear.
00:25I knew immediately that something was wrong when I heard a whizzing sound, shots, and
00:29immediately felt the bullet ripping through the skin."
00:31At a Tenacious D concert in Sydney, Australia, on Sunday, July 14, a cake was brought to
00:36Jack Black's bandmate, Kyle Gass, and he was asked to make a wish.
00:40Gass responded to the request by commenting, "'Don't miss Trump next time.'"
00:45Clips of the moment quickly went viral throughout the day on Monday, July 15.
00:49And on Tuesday, July 16, Jack Black posted this statement to his Instagram, writing,
00:54I was blindsided by what was said at the show on Sunday.
00:57I would never condone hate speech or encourage political violence in any form.
01:02After much reflection, I no longer feel it is appropriate to continue the Tenacious detour,
01:07and all future creative plans are on hold.
01:09I am grateful to the fans for their support and understanding."
