The Australian leg of their tour has been abruptly postponed following heated backlash, with Australian senator Ralph Babet even calling for their deportation. In light of the public outcry, Jack Black has announced the cancellation of Tenacious D's remaining concerts, stating that it is no longer 'appropriate' to continue the tour amidst the uproar. This unexpected turn of events has left fans shocked and disappointed, as the comedic rock duo's performances are put on hold indefinitely.
