INFLUENTIAL ROCKERS CALL IT QUITS AFTER 13 YEARS
The White Stripes |
The White Stripes have
announced that they are breaking up. A statement from the band's website reads:
"The White Stripes would like to announce that today, February 2nd, 2011, their band has officially ended and
will make no further new recordings or perform live.
The reason is not due to artistic differences or lack of wanting to continue, nor any health issues as both Meg and
Jack are feeling fine and in good health.
It is for a myriad of reasons, but mostly to preserve what is beautiful and special about the band and have it stay that
way.
Meg and Jack want to thank every one of their fans and admirers for the incredible support they have given
throughout the 13 plus years of The White Stripes' intense and incredible career.
Third Man Records will continue to put unreleased live and studio recordings from The White Stripes in their Vault
subscription record club, as well as through regular channels.
Both Meg and Jack hope this decision isn't met with sorrow by their fans but that it is seen as a positive move done
out of respect for the art and music that the band has created. It is also done with the utmost respect to those fans
who've shared in these creations, with their feelings considered greatly.
With that in mind the band have this to say:
"The White Stripes do not belong to Meg and Jack anymore. The White Stripes belong to you now and you can do
with it whatever you want. The beauty of art and music is that it can last forever if people want it to. Thank you for
sharing this experience. Your involvement will never be lost on us and we are truly grateful."
Sincerely,
Meg and Jack White
