Tenacious D is currently on a break following the cancellation of their tour after bandmate Kyle Gass made a controversial joke regarding an assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump. Jack Black confirmed that while they need time off, the band will return, stating, "We need to take a break. Everybody needs a break sometime... And we’ll be back when it feels right." Gass's comment, made during a concert, led to public outrage and calls for the band to be deported from Australia, prompting Black to condemn the remark and halt all creative plans. Despite the turmoil, Black reassured fans that his friendship with Gass remains intact. Gass has since apologized for his inappropriate joke, although his apology was later deleted. Black emphasized his commitment to Tenacious D, referring to it as his favorite job and expressing gratitude for the support from fans.
