Overview
- During a July 2024 Sydney show, Gass said “Don’t miss Trump next time,” referencing the attempted assassination of President Donald Trump a day earlier.
- Jack Black responded that he was blindsided, canceled the remaining dates, and put all future Tenacious D plans on hold.
- Gass tells Rolling Stone he has felt terrible since, describing a “Defcon 2” atmosphere, threats to the band, and his agent dropping him the next day.
- He apologized publicly at the time and later deleted the post, clarifying now that he did not recant the apology and removed it after it had been widely republished.
- Gass says he and Black have ‘hashed it out’ and remain friends, pledging Tenacious D will return; beyond a 2025 charity cover, no reunion dates have been announced.
