This really brings a damper to our day. When White was asked about the chance of a White Stripes reunion during an interview with NME he responded,
“Absolutely no chance. I couldn’t see any reason to ever do that. I’m not the kind of person that would retire from baseball and come out of retirement the next year. I mean, if we went to all the trouble of telling people we’re done, we meant it, you know?”
“If we were forced to change our mind about that, I can only imagine… like if for some reason we went bankrupt or something or needed the cash, which would be a really sad thing, I would probably be issuing an apology along with the announcement of the show dates!”
At least you can still catch Jack White on tour. White’s upcoming solo album Blunderbuss is out April 24th via Third Man/Columbia.
