The image above can be found on The White Stripes & Third Man Records official websites stating the following:
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 out 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 those 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
