White: 'White Stripes will reform if i'm bankrupt'

Jack White has said there is 'absolutely no chance' of reforming The White Stripes.

The singer said he would only reconnect with former bandmate Meg White if he 'went bankrupt'. In an interview with NME, Jack stated that it 'would be a really sad thing' if the duo actually reformed.

When asked to explain his comment, the former frontman said: "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."

White added that the only thing that could change his mind about a reunion would be "if we went bankrupt or really needed the cash. which would be a really sad thig. I would probably be issuing an apology along with the announcement of the show dates."

White will release his debut solo album 'Blunderpuss' next month. The album will be released through White's record label 'Third Man Records' on April 23. The indie-rock singer will play a headline gig at London's HMV Hammersmith Apollo on June 22, ahead of his slot at The Hackney Weekend Event June 23-24.
