JACK BLACK-LISTED: Tenacious D Cancels Tour After Joking About Trump’s Assassination

Actor Jack Black and his band Tenacious D canceled their tour this week after footage of the group joking about Donald Trump’s assassination went viral on social media.

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

Black released the following statement:

“I was blindsided by what was said at the show on Sunday,” Black said in his statement. “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.”
