<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/celebrities">Jack Black</a> said he’s getting the band back together despite comments made by the other half of the duo, Tenacious D. 
The 54-year-old actor previously canceled the rest of the band’s tour after bandmate Kyle Gass made public statements about the attempted assassination of former President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump">Donald Trump</a> in July. The duo was touring in Sydney, Australia, at the time of the controversial remarks.
Black presented Gass with an opportunity to make a birthday wish while onstage, to which Gass replied in front of the assembled crowd, “Don’t miss Trump next time.”
The “Tropic Thunder” actor released a statement following an avalanche of backlash over the comments, saying he was &#8220;blindsided&#8221; by what Gass said. 
“I would never condone hate speech or encourage political violence in any form,” Black said in a statement, The Daily Wire previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/blindsided-jack-black-axes-tour-after-bandmate-cheers-trump-assassination-attempt">reported</a>. “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.”
But now he’s saying the hiatus was only temporary. “We need to take a break. Everybody needs a break sometime,” Black said at the “Borderlands” premiere Tuesday night, per <a href="https://variety.com/2024/music/news/jack-black-tenacious-d-be-back-tour-cancellation-kyle-gass-trump-1236098171/">Variety</a>. “And we’ll be back.”
The actor also confirmed that he and Gass are still on good terms. “Yeah, we’re friends. That hasn’t changed. These things take time sometimes… And we’ll be back when it feels right,” he said.
Black also raved about being part of the band. “Look what I wore today: I wore the Pick of Destiny,” the actor said of his accessories while walking the red carpet. “I love Tenacious D. It’s probably my favorite job, if you can call it that. It’s a work of art, it’s my baby.”
Prior to President Joe Biden dropping out of the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/2024-election">race</a>, Black attended a fundraiser for his re-election campaign, which was organized by actor George Clooney. Later, Clooney said that the fundraiser was when he realized Biden was not mentally fit to run for office again.
