Given THE CLIMATE, kinda felt like an easier out than "unforeseen circumstances" to me. I imagined dismal ticket sales, but then again I'm not super familiar with their market!
New theory: all of the above - Jack had a great time here in summer and was like "Kyle bro, we GOTTA go there together", but now it's winter and they're cold and their shows aren't selling and Jack's burnt out on movie publicity and has more to do when they get back (won't have time to work on music any time soon anyway) and they just wanna have a lil holiday at home before regular scheduling, and it's Kyle's antipodean birthday and Trump's just been shot and Jack's like "Kyle bro, what if I told you I could have you home in time for your Northern Hemisphere birthday? All you gotta say is ..."
Remember when the Dixie Chicks were cancelled by America? The Dixie Chicks criticised then President George W Bush over the war in Iraq. That's all.
Personally I think what Kyle Glass said was completely irresponsible, and kind of stupid.
When you're playing to large (international) audiences you can't be a voice for gun violence and expect that no one is going to care.
Besides, when you come from the land of superpatriotism, and your President has addressed your Nation and made a plea to you - to help lower the temperature in politics... 5 words matter.
Absolutely shameful that they would be forced to cancel an Australasian tour over a flippant and non controversial remark that falls well within the bounds of American free speech. That's what you get when you let Ticketmaster into your life, I guess.
Nah Black is said to be a Biden supporter, so protesting the Dems from criticism is one morive. He's also a defender of Israel, so he's the one facing cancellation from his own tribe.
It's just not punk, is it?
Tenacious D should be cancelled for their music, not shabby US politics.
Sorry, my notifications on this website have been broken for weeks. Yes, absolutely we can see very clearly that the reason Black was forced to behave in this manner was due to interference from American corporations who have controlled his career for years.

Hmm their shows had sold pretty well last time I checked. Spark Arena was 3/4 full at least.
But I like your fan fic Anna, keep it up!
Haha thanks! That's wild though. The scale of their popularity is baffling, especially in this time and place.

I do remember that Sarah! Great call. I guess that's what's on Jack Black's mind for sure.

You think it's Live Nation or Ticketmaster influencing that decision? I guess he's got a movie career to protect too.
Absolutely wild if the pair at at different ends of the political spectrum and this has been bubbling away backstage for months...

OMG YES.
I didn't want to say anything because NZ fans seem to love them to bits, but I've seen them several times and ... just ... I don't get it.
