Kyle Gass Says He and Jack Black Have Made Amends, Plan Tenacious D’s Return

Gass recounts lasting remorse over his Sydney remark as the tour halt followed security concerns.

Overview

  • In a Rolling Stone interview, Gass said he and Black "hashed it out" and promised "we will be back," signaling movement toward resuming Tenacious D activity.
  • The band canceled shows in 2024 after Gass, during a birthday moment onstage in Sydney, said "Don't miss Trump next time" about the attempted assassination of President Donald Trump.
  • Gass says threats, including one aimed at his 95-year-old mother, and other fallout such as his agent dropping him led to a full shutdown of the tour.
  • He says he wrote his apology himself and later deleted it without recanting, calling the quip "terrible judgment" and saying he has felt "terrible" ever since.
  • Tenacious D had recently announced Rock the Vote benefit concerts that were canceled, and Gass is currently working with the Kyle Gass Band as a live album arrives this week.
