Jack Black has revealed that Tenacious D, his comedy rock due with longterm friend Kyle Bass, will carry on despite the controversy caused by a joke Gass said, about the attempted assassinated of Donald Trump.
At the Los Angeles premiere for his new action film Borderlands this week, Black said: "I love Tenacious D...We had to take a break, but I love the D. "Everybody takes a break sometimes. We'll be back." Previously, Black said that "all future creative plans are on hold" in response to the backlash to Gass's joke. During a recent concert in Sydney in July, Gass shared his birthday wish: "Don't miss Trump next time".
"This was not a joke, he was deadly serious when he wished for the death of the President.” The band cancelled the rest of their tour, and Gass issued an apology for the "severe lack of judgment."He said: "The line I improvised on Sunday night in Sydney was highly inappropriate, dangerous and a terrible mistake. "I don't condone violence in any kind, in any form, against anyone.
