According to NME, the Jack Black fronted rock duo Tenacious D performed cover of Oasis‘s classic track “Champagne Supernova” while on tour in the UK. The comedy duo performed the rendition of the Brit pop anthem during their show in Brighton as part of the Spicy Meatball Tour. The single was originally released by Oasis in 1995 and served as the closing track on their critically acclaimed second studio album, (What’s the Story) Morning Glory?.
The cover was a highlight of Tenacious D’s 18 song set, appearing mid-way through their performance of “Double Team.” On the footage shared online, the frontman is seen enthusiastically singing the track with the audience while holding his acoustic guitar and belting out the chorus while breaking out various power stances in true Jack Black fashion.
On another note, Tenacious D performed other covers of famous songs including the classic Thin Lizzy track “Jailbreak” and Chris Isaak’s “Wicked Game.” They released their first original song in five years last May which was entitled “Video Games.” The band was also included on the Rock Am Ring and Rock Im Park 2023 lineup alongside Pantera and Evanescence.
