Tenacious D is an American comedy rock duo formed in Los Angeles in 1994 by actor Jack Black and guitarist Kyle Gass. The pair built a cult following through an HBO series before signing to Epic Records and releasing their platinum-certified self-titled debut in 2001, which introduced the now-iconic 'Tribute'. Three more studio albums followed - The Pick of Destiny (2006), Rize of the Fenix (2012), and Post-Apocalypto (2018) - cementing their reputation for blending hard rock chops with sharp satirical humor.
Kyle Gass gave a candid interview to Rolling Stone about the 2024 controversy, confirming the duo's friendship with Jack Black remains intact and promising a full Tenacious D comeback.
Tenacious D released 'The Complete Masterworks Vol. 3' on Blu-ray and DVD, a concert film of their June 2023 O2 Arena show in London - their first official release since the 2024 tour cancellation.
Tenacious D quietly returned to recording with a charity cover of REO Speedwagon's 'Keep On Loving You', their first new music since the 2024 hiatus.
Jack Black canceled the remainder of Tenacious D's world tour and put all future creative plans on hold after Kyle Gass made a controversial remark about the assassination attempt on Donald Trump during a show in Sydney, Australia.
