American rock band Tenacious D has cancelled its remaining Australian shows after one of the band members made a remark about Donald Trump that sparked a backlash.
The Australian leg began on Saturday in Sydney and the final show was scheduled for 22 July in Adelaide. Two New Zealand shows were meant to follow. Earlier on Tuesday, concert promoter Frontier Touring said the band show that night in Newcastle, NSW, had been "postponed". The video taken at the show on Sunday shows the crowd cheering Gass's comments, but it drew anger from some quarters after it was shared online.
