White Stripe fans shouldn’t hold their breath for a reunion, because according to the newly solo Jack White, the only way he would reform the band is if he “went bankrupt”.
In a new interview with NME, when asked if there was any chance the duo would reform, the former White Stripes singer stated, “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?”
He continued: “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.”
