Jack Black Cancels Tenacious D Tour and ‘All Future Creative Plans’ After Kyle Gass’ Controversial Trump Comment
In a surprising turn of events, Jack Black has announced the cancellation of Tenacious D’s upcoming tour and all future creative plans. The decision comes after his bandmate, Kyle Gass, made a controversial comment about the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump during a recent performance.
Black, who was reportedly “blindsided” by Gass’ comment, took to social media to address the situation. In a statement, he expressed his disappointment and apologized to fans who were looking forward to the tour.
“I was shocked and saddened by Kyle’s comment during our show. It was not something that we had discussed or agreed upon beforehand,” Black wrote. “I want to apologize to all of our fans who were excited to see us on tour. I know this is disappointing news, but I hope you can understand that this decision was necessary.”
Gass’ comment, which has since been removed from the band’s official video of the performance, referenced the attempted assassination of Trump in 2017. The incident involved a man who attempted to shoot Trump at a rally in Las Vegas, but was stopped by security before any harm could be done.
The comment sparked backlash from fans and critics alike, with many calling for Tenacious D to address the situation. Black’s statement comes as a surprise to many, as the band has been known for their comedic and often controversial content in the past.
It is unclear what the future holds for Tenacious D, as Black’s statement also mentioned the cancellation of all future creative plans. This could potentially include the release of new music or other projects that the band had been working on.
Fans of Tenacious D have taken to social media to express their disappointment and support for Black’s decision. Many have also called for Gass to issue a public apology for his comment.
As of now, neither Gass nor Tenacious D have made any further statements regarding the situation. It remains to be seen if the band will continue to perform together in the future or if this marks the end of their partnership.
