Tenacious D’s Kyle Gass has deleted his apology post regarding comments he made following the assassination attempt on Donald Trump.Last Sunday (July 14), a day after the assassination attempt on the former president of the US, Tenacious D were playing a show in Sydney, Australia.

As it was also Gass’ 64th birthday, his bandmate Jack Black sang him ‘Happy Birthday’ on stage before asking him to make a wish.

In response, Gass said, “Don’t miss Trump next time.”The comment sparked controversy, with an Australian politician calling for the duo to be deported from the country and reports that his agency had dropped him.

Both TMZ and The Hollywood Reporter claimed that Michael Greene of Greene & Associates Talent Agency is no longer representing the guitarist as a result of Gass’ comment.Writing on Instagram, Gass initially apologised saying: “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.
