White to focus on new band
London: Rocker Jack White has confirmed that he is taking a break from The White Stripes to focus all his energy on a new band called The Raconteurs.
According to contactmusic.com, White has postponed all future recordings with his band mate and ex-wife Meg White despite saying that there will be a new album out soon. White says his new four-piece band is no longer a side project.
He says: "A lot of people have this assumption that this is a side project or whatever, and the only way to solve that is to go out and play. The only way to show you are a band is to be a band, and that's what we are doing.
"Of course, there is going to be more White Stripes records, more Greenhornes records, more Brendan Benson records, but for right now, it's time for The Raconteurs."
