Tenacious D Postpones Newcastle Show After Trump Joke Backlash
Tenacious D's concert in Newcastle has been postponed following controversial remarks made by band member Kyle Gass about former US President Donald Trump. The comments were made during a Sydney show, which coincided with Gass’s 64th birthday. The incident occurred shortly after Trump was injured in an assassination attempt. United Australia Party Senator Ralph Babet has called for the band to be deported, describing Gass's comments as "malicious." Additionally, Kyle Sandilands, a prominent radio host, has banned the band from his show.
The cancellation of the Newcastle concert, part of Tenacious D’s 'Spicy Meatball Tour,' was announced by promoter Frontier Touring without an official explanation. The incident has generated significant backlash, leading to uncertainty about the band's remaining tour dates in Australia. Fans are advised to hold onto their tickets until further information is provided.
