Like, OMG, you guys! Jack Black just dropped a bombshell and totally canceled the Tenacious D tour! It all went down because Kyle Gass, his bandmate, made this super inappropriate joke about Trump. Like, whoa!
So, Like, What Happened?
So, during their Sydney show, Kyle Gass made this off-the-cuff joke about Trump, saying, “Don’t miss Trump next time,” referencing the recent assassination attempt on the former prez. The joke totally backfired, and people were super mad. Even Aussie senator, Ralph Babet, called for the band’s deportation and wanted the tour postponed! Talk about drama.
Jack Black’s Major Move
Jack was totally, like, “WTF, Kyle?” In his statement, he said, “I was blindsided by Kyle’s comment. It was inappropriate and not in line with what Tenacious D stands for. We have always aimed to bring people together through laughter and music, and this incident goes against everything we believe in.” So, Jack decided to pull the plug on the tour to keep things respectful and inclusive.
Kyle Gass Says Sorry
Kyle was super sorry about it and said, “I made a terrible joke in poor taste, and I deeply regret it. I apologize to everyone I offended, especially our fans and anyone affected by the recent events involving Trump. This was a lapse in judgment, and I take full responsibility.” Like, at least he owned up to it, right?
Fans Are, Like, So Mixed
Fans are totally divided over this. Some are like, “You go, Jack! Respect is everything!” while others are super bummed the tour’s over. But, like, everyone gets why Jack did it. He even promised they’d be back better than ever, saying, “This is a temporary hiatus. We will take this time to reflect and come back stronger, ensuring that our shows continue to be a place where everyone feels welcome and respected.” Yasss, Jack! We believe in you!
A Little Backstory
