Jack White: White Stripes Reunion Could Never Happen

They say never say never (whoever ‘they’ are - Ed), but it doesn’t seem like Jack White was paying much attention, claiming there is absolutely no chance of a White Stripes reformation.

Speaking to Dutch station Newsuur, White revealed: ‘I don’t think that could ever happen; it’s all done. But the lord works in mysterious ways so there’ll probably be something better come out of me one day. I hope so, I’ve got nothing better to do.’

It’s not the first time White has made such comments. Speaking to the NME earlier this year, he said: ‘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?… 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.’

Jack White, who played a series of UK shows late last week, is set to appear at London’s Roundhouse on September 8th as part of the iTunes festival.
