Jack Black recently addressed the future of his band, Tenacious D, after they made the decision to cancel their tour. In an interview with ET at the Borderlands premiere in Los Angeles, Black expressed his love for the band and reassured fans that they will be back. He explained that taking a break is sometimes necessary, but Tenacious D will definitely return.
The controversy surrounding the tour cancellation stemmed from a joke made by Kyle Gass regarding the assassination attempt against Donald Trump. Gass quickly issued an apology, acknowledging that his comment was inappropriate and regrettable. Black also took to social media to denounce hate speech and political violence, ultimately deciding to put all future creative plans on hold.
While fans eagerly await the return of Tenacious D, Black is currently focused on promoting the Borderlands movie. Based on the popular video game, the film has been a passion project for Black, who shares his love for the game with his teenage sons. Director Eli Roth emphasized that viewers don’t need to be familiar with the game to enjoy the movie, promising a fun and entertaining experience for all audiences.
As Black juggles his professional commitments, he continues to prioritize his family life with his wife, Tanya Haden, and their children. Despite the temporary setback with Tenacious D, Black remains grateful for the support of his fans and looks forward to future creative endeavors.
