Check facts 1st. Bs.

Gosh that would be very sad if true. The children and us bonded over a whole summer of 'rude' Tenacious D blaring in the car on every journey a few years back.

Just checked myself. No such mention. Can anyone in the Mirror use the internet?

But it is on the twitter page. Unless fake twitter

It's on the Tenacious D Twitter account: https://twitter.com/RealTenaciousD/status/739403908309716993

Likely a hoax though. Let's see.

They probably mean the official Twitter account, which announced at again this morning.

Fake, most likely. Other celebrity twitter accounts have been hacked, such as the late Ryan Dunn's.

Yeah - it's on the Twitter page. Strange.

I'm guessing hoax for now.

Don't consider myself a fan but he's a young guy with a bunch of small kids so I'm really hoping this isn't true

Maybe it's Tenacious D-Day

I think it's a hoax, I saw a tweet saying that he's on a plane back from Germany at the moment and Unaware of all this.

Facebook likes on a page, which can then be sold? This page got over a million likes.

Doesn't explain the message on the Tenacious D twitter page though.

They just tweeted that it was a prank and he is still alive.

WTF!!!!!!!!
Fairly weird and sick prank

I'm guessing drugs were in the processes of being taken when this AMAZING idea was enacted.

Phew jes i wouldnt think he would do soemthing like that now, would be quiet pissed about it..hate that crap

Poor Uncle Tom

He died at the box office years ago.....

hatrickpatrick

He's been doing too many cock pushups. He should have taken the six nuggets, and thrown two of them away.

Those messages aren't from Tenacious D, they're from the person who hacked the account.

I love the way the newspapers are describing the band as a fictional band. Surely if a band sells music and actually tours then they are a real band? Even if they don't sound great

Penny Tration

Some nerd with feck all tweets has tweeted that it was them who posted the death notice, and their tweets have been retweeted by the tenacious d account.

People have too much free time.

Milly33

Fictional how very dare they just because they are gods

Winterlong

Dont get why some muppets get a kick out of doing things like this.

Internet Ham

I got a genuine pang of grief there reading that. I really like the guy. Been listening to the D for years. Thankfully he is still alive!

Samaris

Bloody hell, that gave me a moment's O.O. Relieved that it was a prank.

Don't get the humour in it though. It's just weird.

Ah, so Jack Black had nothing to do with it? If that is the case they only took back control of twitter in the last hour or so. Twitter feed very different looking now.

A lot of people think that Tenacious D are a fictional band because their first big exposure was in a TV show of the same name, but they'd been together for a few years before that. It'd be a bit like calling the Beatles a fictional band if they'd only hit public awareness with A Hard Day's Night, the film.

And IMO Tenacious D are a great-sounding act in both the duo form and the full 5-piece form. Tight and with a good collection of songs to belt out.

I just would have thought that the newspapers would have researched the facts a bit more. I would have thought most people would have known they are a real band and a real passion of Jack Black.

Im also glad they got the dead part wrong.

Yeah, Jack Black is one of my favorites, mainly because of Tenacious D. Some of his film roles have been very funny as well, like in High Fidelity, School of Rock, Be Kind Rewind and Bernie.

Just another celebrity death hoax. It's getting a bit pointless now, what with the internet allowing us to check everything within seconds.

I'd say this will give them some good on-stage banter for the next while.
