White Stripes disbanding.

[LadyL]

apparently to preserve the sanctity of the band?

idk, their statement is a bit convoluted ...

Sad news. I liked this band. What a lot of folks don't know (maybe they do), is that Jack and Meg of White Stripes were actually married to each other at one time.

[LadyL]

yes and that they pretended to be siblings for some reason

since they won't talk about it, it's kinda hard to figure out why

[LadyL]

another random factoid:

Jack took Megan's last name when they married
his real name is actually John Anthony Gillis

London's Daily Mail takes a guess:
