Jack Black has been spotted flying solo in Los Angeles, sparking fresh speculation about the future of his legendary comedy rock duo Tenacious D. The sighting comes amid unverified claims that Hollywood heavyweight George Clooney may have played a role in the band's current hiatus.
The 54-year-old actor-musician was photographed alone at LAX airport, noticeably without his longtime musical partner Kyle Gass. This follows reports of tension between the duo after Gass made controversial remarks about the assassination attempt on Donald Trump during a Tenacious D performance.
Clooney Connection Fuels Speculation
Industry insiders suggest that Clooney, a close friend of Black's, may have encouraged the separation following Gass's controversial on-stage comments. While neither party has confirmed these rumours, sources claim the Ocean's Eleven star advised Black to distance himself from the controversy.
"George has always been protective of Jack's career," an unnamed source revealed. "When the Trump comments went viral, he reportedly suggested taking some time apart might be the wisest move."
Tenacious D's Uncertain Future
The comedy rock pair, famous for hits like "Tribute" and "Wonderboy," have been silent about their status since cancelling several tour dates. Their management maintains the break is temporary, but fans have grown increasingly concerned.
Black's solo appearance at the airport, looking relaxed in casual attire, has done little to quell the rumours. Meanwhile, Gass has been maintaining a conspicuously low profile since the incident.
Neither Black's representatives nor Clooney's team have responded to requests for comment about the alleged feud influence. As the entertainment world waits for official word, Tenacious D's devoted fanbase remains hopeful for a reunion of the Grammy-winning duo.
