Jack Black Says Tenacious D Will Come Back
- Jack Black has announced that Tenacious D, the rock band he co-founded, will return after their break.
- The band, known for its comedic and musical performances, has been inactive recently.
- Fans can look forward to new music and performances from Tenacious D in the future.
Tenacious D is currently on hiatus, as confirmed by frontman Jack Black during the premiere of his new film "Borderlands." The band decided to cancel the remainder of their tour after bandmate Kyle Gass made a controversial comment regarding the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump. Black emphasized the need for a break, stating, “Everybody needs a break sometime,” while expressing that he remains in touch with Gass and their friendship remains intact. The decision to halt the tour came after a performance in Sydney, Australia, where Gass's remark, “Don’t miss Trump next time,” sparked significant backlash. The comment, made in reference to the assassination attempt at a rally, led to public outrage and calls from an Australian lawmaker for the band’s deportation. Black described himself as “blindsided” by Gass's statement, highlighting the unexpected nature of the incident. In the aftermath, Gass issued an apology via Instagram, stating, “I don’t condone violence of any kind, in any form, against anyone.” Despite the apology, Gass faced professional repercussions, as his talent agent, Michael Greene, confirmed that he has severed ties with the musician, although no further details were provided. As the band takes this time to regroup, Black reassured fans that Tenacious D will return when the moment feels appropriate, indicating a hopeful future for the duo despite the recent turmoil.
