Jack White Working On Three New Albums

Jack White has revealed that he is working on three new albums, neither of which will under the White Stripes or Raconteurs banner.

At this point in time White won’t reveal what the projects are but he says that the cancellation of the White Stripes autumn touring schedule meant he had more time to work on them.

When asked about the cancellation of tour he told the Seattle Times: "Half of me was glad because I have three other records I'm working on, and I didn't have any time to work on them, and I was really getting worried that I might have to not do these things I wanted to do because of the touring."

He also said that his White Stripes partner Meg White never came close to quitting the band but now seems happier after the pair worked on the ‘Conquest’ release with Beck.

He said: “Maybe working at Beck's house was something we needed to do to remind ourselves that touring is only one component of what we do. Taking a break from shows isn't going to stop it.

"If it came to a point where Meg said, 'I don't want to be in this band anymore, it doesn't fulfill me in any way,' then it would be a different story. But she's not saying that.”

Ask further about the future of the band he added: “I don't know. It's a good question. I guess it's up to her. ... She seems to be lively. She was really invigorating working together on this 'Conquest' record.

“I was wondering if she was interested, and she was completely — very, very involved. And it was nice of Beck to give us that forum, help us re-understand what it is we're doing."
