Jack Black has confirmed that Tenacious D will return despite the recent controversy surrounding bandmate Kyle Gass's comments about Donald Trump's attempted assassination, which led to the cancellation of their Spicy Meatball Tour. Black stated, 'We need to take a break. Everybody needs a break sometime,' and assured fans that the duo will be back when it feels right. Gass faced backlash after joking during a concert in Australia, 'Don’t miss Trump next time,' prompting Black to cancel the tour and express his disapproval of the comment. Gass later issued an apology, admitting his remark was inappropriate, while Black described himself as 'blindsided' by the incident. Despite this turmoil, Black emphasized that his friendship with Gass remains intact, stating, 'Yeah, we’re friends. That hasn’t changed.' He expressed his love for Tenacious D, calling it 'probably my favorite job' and a 'work of art.'
