Breaking: Jack Black Begged To Be On Stage With Kid Rock At RNC, Was Thrown Out Immediately, “No Wokes Allowed Here”
suspended the rest of its Australian tour after comments made by Gass over the assassination attempt on former U.S. President Donald Trump.
A video widely shared on social media from the concert in Sydney on Sunday showed Gass being presented with a birthday cake and Black urging him to make a wish. Gass then seemed to say “don’t miss Trump next time” before blowing out the candles.
Trump was shot in the ear during a campaign rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday, which the FBI is probing as an assassination attempt. The former president has since attended the Republican National Convention with a thick bandage over his right ear.
Gass on Tuesday apologised on Instagram for his “severe lack of judgment” and said the comments were inappropriate, dangerous and a terrible mistake. Black said he was “blindsided” by the comments and that he 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,” Black said.
