Jack Black Says Tenacious D Will ‘Be Back’ Following Tour Cancellation Due to Kyle Gass’ Trump Shooting Remark: ‘These Things Take Time’

Jack Black has weighed in on the future of Tenacious D after his band partner, Kyle Gass, made a controversial remark about Donald Trump’s attempted assassination in July, which prompted Black to cancel the duo’s latest tour. “We need to take a break.

Everybody needs a break sometime,” Black told Variety‘s Marc Malkin at the “Borderlands” premiere on Tuesday night. “And we’ll be back.” Asked if he’s talked to Gass since the tour’s cancellation, Black replied, “Yeah, we’re friends.

That hasn’t changed. These things take time sometimes… And we’ll be back when it feels right.” Black also showed off the titular magical guitar pick from the 2006 comedy film “Tenacious D in the Pick of Destiny.” “Look what I wore today: I wore the Pick of Destiny,” Black said on the carpet. “I love Tenacious D.

It’s probably my favorite job, if you can call it that. It’s a work of art, it’s my baby.” Last month, Black announced on social media that he was canceling Tenacious D‘s current tour amid blowback against Gass, who made a controversial comment at the rock duo’s concert in Australia related to the assassination attempt on Trump.
