The White Stripes To Quit Touring?
You Don't Know What Live Is: White Stripes frontman Jack White has speculated that the band may have reached the end of the road as far as live work is concerned.
Following the band's decision to cancel their entire tour earlier this year due to drummer Meg White's acute anxiety, the guitarist told the L.A. Times:
"If we didn't ever tour again it wouldn't matter to me.
"There are so many different aspects to being creative that it doesn't matter if one component is changed. It's been changing all the time since the band started.
"If [touring] isn't working for you and it's detrimental to you, then you have to figure out a new way to attack it, a new way to look at it. I think that's what Meg's doing."
The pair have recently recorded new material at Beck's home studio which will see the light of day as B-sides for The White Stripes' new single, 'Conquest', due out on December 31.
