    White Stripes Break Up

    NEW YORK – The White Stripes are done.
    The groundbreaking rock duo announced Wednesday they are splitting up and "will make no further new recordings or perform live."
    Jack White and Meg White say there are a "myriad of reasons" for the breakup, but the main reason is to "preserve what is beautiful and special about the band."
    The last recording by the White Stripes was the live album "Under the Great White Northern Lights," released last year.
    Over the years, Jack White has focused attention on other projects, including the bands the Dead Weather and the Raconteurs, as well as his Nashville, Tenn.-based Third Man Records.

      My mind really can't grasp them breaking up.

      It sucks because I would have loved to have see them live atleast once.

          eh, it was obviously coming at some point. He's been off doing other stuff for a while now, and the dead weather is awesome. He probably took the white stripes setup as far as it could go, and it's better to see him teaming up with better musicians.

                      At least, I got to see them live a few years back. I didn't even realize Jack was off doing other things, as I hadn't heard much about them since Icky Thump.

                        It was only a matter of time. Jack had alot on his plate with three projects and being how successful The Raconteurs and Dead Weather have been, I can see ending the Stripes. Not that the Stripes weren't,but there is alot less pressure involved in the other two. He has alot of song writing help with both the Raconteurs and Dead Weather. He was the White Stripes.Plus I admire groups hanging it up while they still have their integrity.

                          I'm not a fan, but I also hate to see them go.

                          Great entertainers and true musicians are rare these days. Their music didn't suit to my needs, but it wasn't for a lack of talent.. just not my taste in music.
