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.

Then let's go with the alternative: Man overreacts and acts self righteous over a joke. Cancels other people's plans.

Here's what really happened: A man with an actual moral compass decides work life balance and his relationship with his long time friend and business partner is more important than money, and has decided to take the time to figure things out between them.

If your actual moral compass tells you the real problem is not coddling fascists when they get what's due to them, it's pointing in the wrong direction.

Jack black is a better human than me, I won't argue that point.
