Phew. Earlier today Tenacious D sent Jack Black fans into a frenzy after 'confirming' that the actor had died. They tweeted about his death followed by the hashtag #RIPJackBlack. It followed an earlier hoax this week also claiming that the actor was dead. Jack's representative confirmed yesterday that he was alive and a lot of people were calling the tweet a hoax but with the silence on their Twitter account it began to worry people. But now, they've come back on to confirm that it was a hoax/joke and that he is alive and well. Pretty weird joke if you ask me.

Calm down guys! It's just a prank bro, look there's the camera... pic.twitter.com/eUTYOHwarB

Then they encouraged people to follow another Twitter account. Not really the time.
