One of rock music's biggest names is now calling it quits. The White Stripes have announced on their website that they have officially broken up. The official announcement states--
"The reason is not due to artistic differences or lack of wanting to continue. "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."
Apparently Jack White's Third Man Records label will continue releasing some of the lesser-known stuff the duo had worked on in the past, but the group is officially done. The rest of the announcement can be read HERE.
In honor of the White Stripes entirely too brief but beautiful musical career, here are a couple classic videos:
The White Stripes- Hotel Yorba from Fallout Entertainment on Vimeo.
The White Stripes - Offend In Every Way (music video) from Adam Cohn on Vimeo.
THE WHITE STRIPES - THE HARDEST BUTTON TO BUTTON from Lance Bangs on Vimeo.
they're fucking legendary.
