Jack Black clarifies that Tenacious D is here to stay, weeks after the duo canceled its tour following bandmate Kyle Gass' comments about the attempted assassination of Donald Trump.
Tenacious D isn't going anywhere, but it might take some time for the satirical rock-comedy duo to make a comeback, Jack Black says. Black, who forms Tenacious D with actor Kyle Gass, clarified this week that the 'Wonderboy' and 'Kickapoo' band will 'be back' after canceling its tour n July. 'Everybody needs a break sometime,' the actor told Variety at the 'Borderlands' premiere Tuesday.
'I was blindsided by what was said at the show on Sunday,' the 'Kung Fu Panda' star said in an Instagram statement last month. 'I would never condone hate speech or encourage political violence in any form.' He continued at the time: 'I no longer feel it is appropriate to continue the Tenacious D tour, and all future creative plans are on hold.
