Tenacious D's Kyle Gass has been dropped by his talent agency following controversial comments made about the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump.

During a Sydney performance on Sunday, the 64-year-old Gass shocked the audience when he expressed regret that Trump's would-be assassin had missed. His bandmate, Jack Black, had presented him with a birthday cake, prompting Gass to quip, “Don’t miss Trump next time.”

If you supported the deportation of @KTHopkins from Australia over a non-violent Covid joke, then surely you think it’s time to kick out these extremists joking about assassinating Trump on Australian soil

Gass made the contentious remarks while celebrating his 64th birthday on stage. The audience reacted with a mix of cheers and a few disappointed murmurs.

Jack Black, best known for his role in "School of Rock," issued a statement expressing his shock and condemning Gass's comments.

"I was blindsided by what was said at the show on Sunday. I would never condone hate speech or encourage political violence in any form," Black wrote.

"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."

Gass also apologised on Tuesday, acknowledging his mistake.

"The line I improvised onstage Sunday night in Sydney was highly inappropriate, dangerous and a terrible mistake. I don't condone violence of any kind, in any form, against anyone," he wrote.

"What happened was a tragedy, and I'm incredibly sorry for my severe lack of judgment. I profoundly apologise to those I've let down and truly regret any pain I've caused."

Black's reaction comes just a month after he spoke at a high-profile fundraiser for President Joe Biden in Los Angeles, where he stressed the 'stakes for democracy.'

The event, attended by stars like Barack Obama, George Clooney, Julia Roberts, and Barbra Streisand, raised over $30 million.

Tenacious D’s "Spicy Meatball Tour," which began in May and was set to conclude on July 26, 2024, has been abruptly halted due to the controversy.
