Frontier Touring has announced refunds for all Tenacious D ticket holders after the band cancelled their Australian and New Zealand tour following Kyle Gass's divisive joke about the attempted assassination of Donald Trump.
The concert promoter confirmed on Wednesday morning that shows in Newcastle, Brisbane, Melbourne, Adelaide, Wellington, and Auckland were cancelled.
'Frontier Touring regret to advise that the remaining dates of Tenacious D's tour of Australia and New Zealand have been cancelled,' they wrote.
'Ticket holders who purchased tickets via authorised ticketing outlets will receive a full refund. A communication to all ticket holders will be sent today with more information.'
Jack Black claimed he was blindsided by his Tenacious D bandmate's tasteless comments about the assassination attempt on former president Donald Trump.
The School of Rock actor issued a statement on Tuesday, saying he has decided to cancel the comedy band's tour - and that all creative plans are on hold - after bandmate Gass expressed that he wished Trump's would-be assassin hadn't missed.
His decision comes just one month after Black, 54, 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 criticised for raising the political temperature in America by claiming a Trump presidency would be a threat to democracy.

'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.'
Tenacious D was on stage in Sydney, Australia, on Sunday when Black brought a birthday cake for bandmate Kyle Gass and asked him to make a wish.
Gass, 64, replied: 'Don't miss Trump next time.'
The crowd mostly responded with cheering and laughing, with just a few disappointed reactions.

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.'
Last month, Black, 54, delivered a speech that went viral at a star-studded fundraiser in Los Angeles for President Joe Biden, where he said 'democracy was at stake' in November
It has since prompted divisive reactions online, with Kyle Sandilands banning Tenacious D from his radio show for life in light of the comment.
Speaking on Tuesday's Kyle & Jackie O show, radio host Sandilands said: 'So, that guy wishes death on Trump.'
'A note to our talent bookers, I will not be participating in any future Tenacious D interviews,' he went on.
'Someone wishing someone dead that nearly got assassinated, all jokes aside, it's too much for me. Anyone who wishes someone else dead, legit is just a piece of s**t.'
