A little over a decade later, The White Stripes would hold eight Grammy nominations and four wins.
Although theex-husband-and-wife duowould end up releasingseven albums, their last one was back in 2010.
Still, their music continues to linger today.
As of this writing,Jack is still making musicand showing no signs of slowing down.
Whatever happened to her?
You’ll want to keep reading to find out.
You could say that they went out with a bang.
At the time,Conan O’Brienwas facing his last time hosting NBC’sLate Night.
Although he said he “wasn’t sure this could happen,” the host welcomed The White Stripes.
The duotook the stageand performed a modified version of their 2001 song"We’re Going to Be Friends.
“Although fans were expecting Meg to man the drums per usual she, instead, played guitar.
“Meg White is suffering from acute anxiety and is unable to travel at this time.”
The statement continued: “We hate to let people down and are very sorry.”
Vanishing anxiety?
This was not unusual for him and Meg, however.
Unfortunately for fans, though, the reunion never came.
Did Jack keep her silent?
In a rather uncomfortable moment, Meg responds, “I’m quiet.
What can I say?”
The tense conversation continues and eventually leads to an ironic exchange.
She attained a high level of fame and then just seemingly disappeared.
One of the few ways peopleareprivy to the former singer and drummer’s whereabouts are through Jack.
“I don’t think anyone talks to Meg,” Jack admitted.
“She’s always been a hermit.”
By this point in time, Jack said he and Meg talked “almost never.”
“She viewed me that way of ‘Oh, big deal, you did it, so what?’
Almost every single moment of the White Stripes was like that.”
AlthoughRolling Stoneandother publicationsreached out Meg for a comment, she did not reply.
He explained that he hadn’t meant to “slight her.”
He wrote, “I would never publicly do that to someone I love so dearly.”
Only, this news turned out not to be even the slightest bit true.
But, this interview never happened.
For the first time in years, The White Stripes issued ajoint statementto Facebook.
“They are disgusted by this association, and by the illegal use of their song.”
Has Jack changed his tune about Meg?
Even in 2018, Jack seems to go back and forth about his ex.
“There’s only two people in the band.
I was writing and producing and conducting.
The melodies are coming from one person, the rhythm is coming from Meg,” he explained.
After the interview was published, Jack backtracked when interviewed by KROQ’sHD Radio Sound Space(viaUproxx).
Since we can’t exactly ask Meg, we’ll just have to take Jack’s word for it.
