Tenacious D Returns with REO Speedwagon Cover for LA Wildfire Relief

The comedy rock duo ends hiatus following backlash over Kyle Gass' Trump-related comments to support a benefit album for wildfire victims.

  • Tenacious D reunited to contribute a cover of REO Speedwagon's 'Keep on Loving You' to the 'Good Music to Lift Los Angeles' benefit album.
  • The 90-track compilation, available for one day on Bandcamp, supports the LA Regional Food Bank and California Foundation's Wildfire Fund.
  • The band went on hiatus in July 2024 after Kyle Gass made a controversial joke about an assassination attempt on Donald Trump during a concert in Sydney.
  • Following the backlash, Jack Black and Kyle Gass issued apologies, canceled their Australian tour, and paused all creative plans, including a U.S. tour.
  • Jack Black stated that the duo remained friends during the break and hinted at a return when the timing felt appropriate.
