Jack Black Says Tenacious D Will Return But Really … Who Cares?

Jack Black appears to have cooled down from his hissy fit in Australia when he cancelled the tour over a joke.

Black spat the dummy when Tenacious D’s Kyle Lass made a comment about trump’s shooting when presented with a birthday cake at the Sydney show.

Black cracked the shits and cancelled the entire remaining dates of the tour.

Tuesday 16 July
Newcastle Entertainment Centre | Newcastle, NSW

Thursday 18 July
Brisbane Entertainment Centre | Brisbane, QLD

Saturday 20 July
Rod Laver Arena | Melbourne, VIC

Monday 22 July
Adelaide Entertainment Centre | Adelaide, SA

Wednesday 24 July
TSB Arena | Wellington, NZ

Friday 26 July
Spark Arena | Auckland, NZ

At the time, it appeared via Black’s action that Tenacious D was over but given a little time, the petulant Black wants back in with Tenacious D. He wrote said in a statement: “I was blindsided by what was said at the show on Sunday.

“I would never condone hate speech or encourage political violence in any form.

“After much reflection, I no longer feel it is appropriate to continue the Tenacious D tour, and all future creative plans are on hold.

“I am grateful to the fans for their support and understanding.”

This week Black told ‘Entertainment Tonight’: “I love Tenacious D… We had to take a break, but I love the D. Everybody takes a break sometimes. We’ll be back.”

Black says Tenacious D will continue. Now he has ousted himself as an egotistical man baby, it’s unlikely no-one will really care.

Garbage Debut Album ‘Garbage’ Turns 30

When Garbage released their self-titled debut album in August 1995, the alternative rock landscape was already shifting. Grunge was waning, Britpop was peaking in the UK, and electronic music was beginning to infiltrate rock’s DNA. Into this transitional moment stepped Garbage, a genre-blurring project that fused rock guitars, trip-hop beats, industrial noise, and pop hooks into something sleek yet menacing.
