And so it was, The White Stripes are no more. A simple message was left on their official website, kind of detailing the reasons why. Read it below:

to be fair I think this statement would have been equally valid three years ago

Still. Their first four albums are all meant a great deal to me, and I think I'll always remember seeing them live at Leeds '04 as one of my most cherished musical memories. They'll be missed

Can't say I'm that disapointed

but that last paragraph of their statement was very touching.

cheers then Jack and Meg
