Kyle Gass’ birthday wish invites heavy backlash by Australian senator and American Republicans.
Black has put his rock duo Tenacious D on hold following an onstage comment made by his bandmate Kyle Gass, which seemed to support the attempted assassination of former US President Donald Trump.
The audience responded with laughter to the clear reference at the failed assassination attempt on Trump at a rally that took place the previous day. “I was blindsided by what was said at the show. 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.Rebuke came swiftly with Australian senator Ralph Babet calling for the band’s removal from the country, along with having their visas revoked.
Gass also posted his own statement and apologised for his “severe lack of judgement” and said the improvised line was “highly inappropriate, dangerous and a terrible mistake”. He claimed he does not condone violence in any form against anyone.
