Jack Black announced on Instagram that he's cancelled the rest of the Tenacious D world tour and placed future projects on hiatus.

This happened after his bandmate Kyle Gass sparked controversy by commenting on the recent Donald Trump assassination attempt.

At their recent Sydney show, Kyle Gass was given a birthday cake and asked to make a wish for his 64th birthday, to which he said "Don't miss Trump next time."

In his later statement, Black said he was "blindsided" by his bandmate's comment and condemned any calls for political violence.

I really hope this is just PR shit and Jack Black isnt ending a friendship with a longterm friend over an edgy joke, cause like man, I know he's a celebrity, but I had a lot of respect for him up until this point

Just the other day, I looked at him with his shaggy ass beard, half done up bright shirt and too large shorts singing whatever the fuck and thought to myself:

"I have mad respect for jack black, That is a man that truly does not give a fuck. I should try and be more like him"

And then this reaction comes out and all that is gone and I'm reminded that I'm a terrible judge of character.

The trick is to choose what to not give a fuck about.

Jack black doesn't give a fuck about others opinions of his appearance.

He does give a fuck about death threats.

Seems pretty sensible and reasonable to me.
