Jack Black has said he’s cancelled the rest of the Tenacious D world tour after his bandmate Kyle Gass sparked an outcry with a comment about the assassination attempt on Donald Trump.

The comedy rock group were on stage in Sydney, Australia, on Sunday when Gass was asked to make a wish after being presented with a cake for his 64th birthday.

He appeared to reply: “Don’t miss Trump next time.”

Gass also split with his agent following the incident.

    this comment needs to be higher. it’s amazing how little self-awareness people have when they show astonishment that only Trump can act like Trump.

    well, duh, that’s why he’s a dickhead. wishing him harm only makes one another bird of the same feather.

      Wishing harm on someone who causes other people greater harm for causing that harm doesn’t make you the same at all.

      Can I wish, like Douglas Adams said of the second-worst poet in the universe:

      his own major intestine, in a desperate attempt to save humanity, leapt straight up through his neck and throttled his brain
