Jack White Officially Rules Out White Stripes Reunion

Jack White has ended fans hopes of a White Stripes reunion, claiming that there is ‘absolutely no chance’ of him working with ex-wife Meg White again – unless they were strapped for cash.
As expected, calls for the White Stripes to get back together have been flying around since the minute they broke up back last year. But, unfortunately for fans, their hopes have been quashed – meaning unless Jack’s career crashes horribly, causing him to run out of money, there won’t be any White Stripes shows anytime soon.
Asked by NME if there was any chance of a comeback, Jack replied: “I would probably say absolutely not. 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?”
He continued: “If we were forced to change our mind about that, I can only imagine the reason being if we went bankrupt or really 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.”
He went on to talk of the split with Meg, saying: “I wanted Meg to come to a decision with me and officially put an end to it. I said eventually - I had no plans at the time - but eventually I'm going to record by myself under my name, and I don't really feel like going through the dumb perception battle of people who couldn't be broad minded enough to understand the difference between Jack White and The White Stripes.”
You can catch Jack White at his show in London’s Hammersmith Apollo this June. Check the dates and details below for more info.
