Pay tribute to The White Stripes with alternative t-shirts following split

03/02/2011

The White Stripes have revealed in a statement they have split up.

A post on their official website explained the Detroit duo would make "no further recordings or perform live".

It said: "The reason is not due to artistic differences or lack of wanting to continue, nor any health issues as both Meg and Jack [White] are feeling fine and in good health."

The band have not performed live since 2007, when the act cancelled world tour dates as drummer Meg was suffering from acute anxiety.

The group - famed for hits including Seven Nation Army, Fell In Love With A Girl and My Doorbell - released their first, self-titled album in 1999 then made a mainstream breakthrough in 2001 with their third album, White Blood Cells.

Fans might like to pay tribute to them by picking up one of the alternative t-shirts available from 8ball.co.uk, such as the Jack N Meg design.
