Gass and Black’s heavy rock band, who’ve had hits such as Tribute and Beelzeboss are currently on hiatus after, in July 2024, Gass made a controversial remark about President Donald Trump’s assassination attempt. The band cancelled their tour for the rest of summer last year.<\/p>\n

The controversy arose after Black presented his bandmate with a cake to celebrate his birthday whilst on stage in Australia. When asked to make a wish, Gass said: \u201cDon\u2019t miss Trump next time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kung-Fu Panda star Black has spoken about the band’s future since, saying: ” \u201cYeah, we\u2019re friends. That hasn\u2019t changed. These things take time sometimes\u2026 And we\u2019ll be back when it feels right.”<\/p>\n

This year, Gass has toured around Europe and the UK with The Kyle Gass Company with their last tour date in Stockport on Saturday, May 31.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"An American rock star made a surprise visit to south Wales as fans spotted him at a Cardiff…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":147519,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5010],"tags":[748,4884,1616,63316,28760,63317,16,15,1764],"class_list":{"0":"post-147518","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-wales","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-great-britain","10":"tag-jack-black","11":"tag-kyle-gass","12":"tag-rock-band","13":"tag-tenacious-d","14":"tag-uk","15":"tag-united-kingdom","16":"tag-wales"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114603991549264560","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/147518","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=147518"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/147518\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/147519"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=147518"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=147518"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=147518"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
