The White Stripes Announce Breakup

It is a sad day in the music world indeed. Jack and Meg White of The White Stripes have announced today that the band has officially called it quits — for good.

In a statement on their website, The White Stripes announced that they will “make no further new recordings or perform live.” The statement also said that the split was not due to artistic differences or health issues, but for “a myriad of reasons … mostly to preserve what is beautiful and special about the band and have it stay that way.”

In a way, the split isn’t surprising; the band’s last album dropped in 2007 and the once-married couple has been drifting apart for a while (their last appearance was in 2009), but we’re still sad to see the end of such a dynamic rock-‘n-roll duo.

Readers, what do you think of the news?
