Tenacious D plans a return with a comeback described as bigger than Oasis. Kyle Gass made a birthday joke onstage in Australia wishing the next would-be Trump assassin not miss and later called it terrible judgment, expressing remorse. The remarks provoked right-wing backlash and calls for deportation, and Jack Black responded by canceling the band's world tour and pausing projects. Safety concerns and threats to band members' families, including a call to Gass's elderly mother, influenced the cancellation. The band members later reconciled and maintain a strong bond, but no reunion date has been set.
""We're gonna come back," he says. "It's gonna be bigger than Oasis!""
""It was terrible judgment, obviously," Gass says. "I've felt terrible ever since, because it's such a responsibility to not screw up like that.""
""Somebody called my mom," he says. "My poor 95-year-old mom. It hits close to home, and you want to be brave and courageous, but I'm not a congressman. We're just entertainers.""
""We will serve no D-wine before it's D-time.""
