Waking up to the news that The White Stripes have called it quits isn’t the best way to wake up. I can’t say it’s surprising news, though. The band didn’t seem interested in doing much together anymore. Even so, I didn’t think they would just end it like this.
The band posted the grim news on their site saying that the breakup isn’t for a fight or differences. Rather, it’s to preserve the memory of The White Stripes. They say The White Stripes are now ours, and we can do whatever we want with their memory. Read the full statement here.
Sad news, but no one can say the news is that surprising. It’s just sad we didn’t get one final album or goodbye tour. I knew I would regret not buying those MSG tickets on Ebay to see them…Damn.
Thanks for the great memories Jack & Meg:
