Tenacious D star Kyle Gass is dropped by his talent agency after sharing his sadness that Trump assassination attempt failed

Tenacious D singer Kyle Gass has been dropped by his talent agency following his tasteless comments about the assassination attempt on former president Donald Trump. 

The 64-year-old expressed his wish that Trump's would-be assassin hadn't missed during the band's show in Sydney on Sunday.

Fellow member Jack Black brought a birthday cake for him and asked him to make a wish and he replied: 'Don’t miss Trump next time.'

Greene Talent has revealed it has parted ways with Gass and no longer represent him, according to TMZ. 

It comes after actor Black, 54, announced on Tuesday he has canceled the comedy band's tour and that all creative plans are on hold. 

Musician Gass made the comments as the band were celebrating his 64th birthday on stage. 

The crowd mostly responded with cheering and laughing, with just a few disappointed reactions.

School of Rock actor Black later issued a statement to say he was blindsided by the comments and the tour would no longer be going ahead. 

'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 told DailyMail.com in a statement.

'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 issued his own statement on Tuesday, writing: '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.

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

Black's reaction to the incident comes just one month after he delivered a speech at a star-studded fundraiser in Los Angeles for President Joe Biden, where he said 'democracy was at stake' in November's election.

Democrats have been criticized for raising the political temperature in America by claiming a Trump presidency would be a threat to democracy.

In June, Black's speech at the Los Angeles fundraiser, which raised more than $30million, was widely praised in Liberal media.

The fundraiser was also attended by former president Barack Obama and actors George Clooney, Julia Roberts and Barbra Streisand.

Black and his band were on the Spicy Meatball Tour, which kicked off in May and was set to wrap on July 26, 2024.

In the wake of the shooting that killed one spectator on Saturday, investigators were hunting for any clues about what may have drove Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, to carry out the shocking attack.

The FBI said they were investigating it as a potential act of domestic terrorism, but the absence of a clear ideological motive by the man shot dead by the Secret Service led conspiracy theories to flourish.

The FBI said it believes Crooks, who had bomb-making materials in the car he drove to the rally, acted alone.
