Tenacious D Tour Update: Dave Grohl Reacts to Political Outburst
Tenacious D’s current tour has been marred by controversy following a series of controversial statements made by the band during their recent performances.
During a concert in Denver, Colorado, drummer Dave Grohl expressed his disapproval of the band’s decision to ice themselves, stating, “I only played drums in that song.” This came after the group’s controversial performance in Sydney, where bassist Kyle Gass made a remark about missing an opportunity to perform for former President Donald Trump.
Following the Sydney incident, the band addressed the situation on social media, with Jack Black announcing the suspension of their tour and expressing condemnation of hate speech and political violence. Gass himself apologized for his remarks, calling them “highly inappropriate, dangerous, and a terrible mistake.”
The band’s actions follow significant backlash from fans and media outlets over their perceived political leanings.
