"I no longer felt it was appropriate to continue the tour."
Tenacious D has cancelled the rest of their Australian and New Zealand Spicy Meatball Tour – due to a controversial comment made by Kyle Gass on stage at their Sydney show on Sunday night.
It was Kyle’s birthday, so Jack brought a cake out for him to make a wish… but, what did he wish for?

The 'joke' has sparked massive outrage, with Senator Babet claiming Gass 'wished for the death of a former President' and called for the pair’s visas to be revoked.
Black has since said he "no longer felt it was appropriate to continue the tour ", in a statement on social media on Tuesday night.
Kyle has also posted an apology for his distasteful comment.
If you had tickets to any of the shows over East – automatic refunds will be issued by Frontier Touring which could take up to 30 days.
