On Tuesday, Jack Black broke his silence on the comments made by Tenacious D bandmate Kyle Gass during their show in Sydney, Australia on Sunday. Just hours after a gunman attempted to assassinate Donald Trump, lead guitarist and birthday boy Kyle Gass was asked to make a "wish," and told the audience he wanted to see the former president killed.

In a post on Instagram which has since received over 200,000 likes, Black said he was "blindsided" by the incident, and condemned the violent comment. He also noted that he had since decided to put the tour, and future projects with Gass, on hold. 

"I was blindsided by what was said at the show on Sunday," he wrote. "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. I am grateful to the fans for their support and understanding."
