The Tenacious D concert in Australia sparked a major row after band member and comedian Kyle Gass made a joke at a Sydney event about the assassination attempt on Donald Trump during his July 13 rally in Pennsylvania. As Gass and his fellow band member and actor Jack Black face deportation threats from United Australia party senator Ralph Babet, Black issued a statement on Instagram where he confirms putting the ongoing tour on hold. He wrote, "I would never condone hate speech or encourage political violence in any form".

I used to love @tenaciousd and thought Jack Black was funny. None of them or their music/movies will ever be played in our home again. Ever. Sickening. Not funny and done in a foreign country is even worse. If you think it’s OK, unfollow and block me. pic.twitter.com/2KG2uzUKEY
