List Details Violations Across Several Locations

Recent incorrect attempts to reveal the White Stripes star's whereabouts reflect how much we're still obsessed with the one-of-a-kind drummer. In February 2011, the White Stripes announced they were no longer going to tour or release new music. The decision wasn't based on "artistic differences" or "health issues"; instead, the decision was "mostly to preserve what is beautiful and special about the band and have it stay that way".

In the ensuing years, vocalist-guitarist Jack White cultivated a wildly successful solo career and continued working sporadically with his other bands, the Raconteurs and the Dead Weather. Drummer Meg White, meanwhile, retreated from music, preferring instead to be a private citizen. In recent years, she politely declined to speak for a 2023 Elle story and didn't attend the White Stripes' 2025 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction.

As a culture, we're fascinated by musicians who stay out of the spotlight. Over the years, journalists have tried to track down elusive artists such as Cleveland singer-songwriter Bill Fox (who actually gave several interviews last year) or Suburban Lawns' Su Tissue.
