It's because of Jack Black's response. He said he was blindsided by Kyle's joke and that it was his decision to break up the band.

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. 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.

Oooh, so he’s kinda throwing KG under the bus a bit. Interesting.

At least, that’s how that statement comes off. It sounds like he’s considering never working with Kyle again over the joke? If that’s what he meant, then yeah, that’s a really shitty thing to do just to save face for himself. Jesus. Thanks for the info.
