There hasn’t been much noise from the White Stripes camp as of late, mostly because Jack White has been busy forming a million other bands and running a record label.

But today the band announced via its website (which appears to be temporarily down or overloaded) that it would no longer be making records or playing live. The band released a live album last year, but has been otherwise quiet for the past several years.

Yeah, I’m a fan or White’s other projects, but this is still a bummer.
