Sorry to hear about Meg's condition, and wish her well, but would hope that Jack might use this 'opportunity' to put together a BAND!

ya mean like The Racounters, einstein?
What a lame swipe
ANyway sad to hear this news. I have met Meg before. So sexy and cute but shy as can be. I wonder what this is all stemming from. Something else is going on

the criticism finally got to her. this is sad news. i dont like the raconteurs

Anxiety? She doesn't do much!

maybe they really had visa issues

as I said in the other comments I suspect drug addiction. she's had her demons in the past.

Drum addiction? I can think of worse things.

who are The Racounters?

the raconteurs aren't Jack's "band." They're a supergroup! EINSTEIN!

the silver lining: cold war kids have open dates now to put on small-venue shows

i suspect a stalker. what else can make someone suddenly anxious? =(

are you kidding? I am suddenly anxious several times a day!!

having to pee and always forgetting to when you have the chance.

If there's anything I can do to comfort her, please let me know. I'm here to help.

who cares? it's personal. hope she gets better.

my god - the cold war kids suck...they are so fcking terrible, it's unreal that they're getting all this hype.

"who cares? it's personal. hope she gets better."

exactly! all the best wishes.

yeah, you dolts. they posted that acute anxiety tidbit for sympathy not to peak anger or curiosity. didn't you read the fine print?

"the raconteurs aren't Jack's "band." They're a supergroup! EINSTEIN!"

Just when you think the idiocy has reached the apex on here, another moron comes along

"as I said in the other comments I suspect drug addiction. she's had her demons in the past."

dude you have no idea what you are talking about. You don't know her or anything she has dealt with in the past. To speculate like that, you are a real jerkoff. As someone who does know her you really should stfu.

I, think something else is going on also, because the European dates are still up they have not cancelled them?? are they becoming anti American??

she's having a baby

They cancelled UK shows too:

The White Stripes have canceled all remaining tour dates through the end of the year, this includes all dates in the UK this Fall. They thank you for your understanding and well wishes.

try to make me go to rehab i say no no no

no but seriously - the cold war kids blow.

oompa, loompa, doopity do. oompa, loompa, doopity do.

Every band that has ever played music sucks. It must be true. I read it here in the comment boards.

no - never said that, i love music...just the cold war kids...they're horrible.

preggers

She has Anonymous Commenting disease, it's truly horrible.

you guys are dumb. She HAD a baby. But it was born with all these weird red and white stripes all over it. It was hard for her. It caused much concern and embarrasment. She tried to rub them off. Then she tried that mom trick where use yr spit.. anyway..it turned out the baby tasted really good. Really really good, like peppermint but different. And well sadly, she just couldn't stop and she freakin ate the thing. And now she has all this legal shit to deal with. So lay off her already.

was it her "brother" jack's baby?

maybe she'll finally have the time to learn how to play the drums.

Wishing you well Meg.

Ticketmaster hasn't received confirmation all the shows have been canceled yet. From the email about the WA show when I tried to get a refund:

"Thank you for contacting us regarding order number #######. At this time, we have not received official word from the promoter that the event has been cancelled."

Ohmigod, poor Meg has a poor red and white striped baby, and Anon 4:59 is worried about his TICKET REFUND???

Good lord.

She HAD a baby. It got made into poop.

flushie flushie. poor thing

that's not a big surprise considering how INSANE it must be to her...exhaustion comes from everything people are commenting on....anxiety, stress, just plain ole tired...and a MOM!!!! "Get some rest and enjoy your life"....work from home;)

"Acute Anxiety" is not what it sounds like--being really nervous.
Its actually a serious condition related to vertigo, where the person as a result of an inner ear problem, loses sense of balance, becomes dizzy, and disoriented.
Unfortunately, one of the causes is damage to the hearing through loud music (also inner ear infections, head trauma, and other causes). I would guess that the constant touring and performing (they do put on a loud show) has taken its toll on Meg.
Its sad to hear that she's ill, and frustrating that people are being such turds about it.
Get well Meg!

Maybe she got fucked in the ear, like I did.

AS A 2 NIGHT TICKET HOLDER I AM SADDENED TO HEAR OF THIS CANCELLATION. I DON'T BELIEVE THE ANXIETY CRAP FOR ONE MINUTE. THERE ARE PLENTY OF MEDS FOR THAT! CURIOUS TO HEAR THE REAL STORY.....

damn, now i have to return the money to the people who bought the stubb's acl tickets I scalped. karma, bitches!

For all the dolts on here. She did not have a baby and she is not nor ever was pregnant. Dummies, just wish her well as she recovers from what is ailing her. Stop making up false rumours. No life fuckheads.

I just stumbled onto this site and read these comments. How sad. I feel just as sad to feel like i have to voice my opinion as well. The internet is too evil for words when people like this can berate a person they don't know just for entertainment. I'm ashamed to have looked at this website. Get well Meg, and anyone in any kind of pain. Ever.

I just stumbled onto this site as well by typing the out the whole web address by accident. I can't believe this last posting. I don't know how this site can allow such easily offended people in this day an age. Damn this site!

that is so max bemis.

my money's on harlequin baby

All you people who post such silly speculations about someone you don't actually know are probably oh no I just got stepped on by an alephant.

you guys are so funny, really, i feel like i just found all my lost friends that i never had. it's like a cheap beer party for 10 in a one room dump. i cant believe they allow this on the internet Either.. so is that her getting screwed?

Way to stay in the game on a topic that was over and done with a long time ago, jackass.

Meat is tasty.

Meg sucks.
Jack sucks
cold war kids suck.

Quit listening to that boring amateur retro-ironic-nihilistic indie crap. There's more talent in any one of the members of Gogol Bordello than the sum of the entire indie rock touring circuit right now. I'm waiting for Prince to get his ass out of Vegas and show up at Jack White's house and violate him with the symbol guitar.

poor Meg, its horrible having panic attacks and anxiety. it really sux.
