Jack Black has clarified that Tenacious D has no current plans to reunite for new projects, despite recent optimistic comments from his bandmate Kyle Gass.
In an interaction in New York City on Thursday, April 2, 2026, the actor and musician told reporters that the duo is not working on anything new.
This update effectively puts to rest the speculation that the comedy-rock pair would return to the stage or studio in the immediate future.
The clarification follows a January interview where Kyle Gass told Rolling Stone that he and Jack Black had "hashed it out" after their 2024 hiatus.
Kyle Gass had teased a comeback that he claimed would be "bigger than Oasis." However, Jack Black’s latest comments suggest those plans remain nebulous and unconfirmed.
While the two remain friends, the "Picks of Destiny" will stay shelved for now as Jack Black continues to focus on his extensive film career and voice acting roles.
The band’s hiatus began in July 2024 during a performance in Sydney, Australia.
The group faced intense public backlash after Kyle Gass made a controversial onstage joke regarding the attempted assassination of Donald Trump.
In the immediate aftermath, Jack Black announced that the comment "blindsided" him and he chose to cancel the remainder of the tour, stating that he put all future creative plans on hold.
Although the duo collaborated on a charity cover of REO Speedwagon's "Keep On Loving You" in early 2025 to benefit wildfire victims, they have not resumed traditional touring or recording.
Jack Black has previously compared the band's dynamic to a marriage that requires occasional breaks.
This latest confirmation indicates that the "break" is set to continue indefinitely, even as the two maintain their decades-long personal friendship.
