White Stripes Cancel Tour Due To Anxiety

Those of you who saw Jack and Meg at the Tower Records - whoops, we mean the Icky Thump Records in-store concert earlier this summer, you might be the only people in LA who will get to see the duo this year in the Southland.

According to an email that was just sent out by the band's email team, the tour has been ixnayed.

The White Stripes announced today that they are canceling their forthcoming tour due to health issues. Meg White is suffering from acute anxiety and is unable to travel at this time.

The White Stripes sincerely apologize to their fans.
"We hate to let people down and are very sorry."

Fans can obtain refunds for their tickets at point of purchase.

Very sad to hear that this is happening. Especially since we can't recall a concert at the Forum featuring just one guitarist and one drummer. It would have been history, instead it's just history.
