Jack White Not A Fan Of Performing Live Shows

05/27/2015
. (Classic Rock) Jack White has admitted that he doesn't enjoying playing half of the shows that he plays and expects to only play acoustic shows for the rest of his days. His latest comments come after he announced he'd be taking a "break from performing for a long period of time."

In an online Q&A session full of deadpans and one-liners, White says: "I'd say half the shows I play I'd rather not play. Festivals for example. But I have to make the best of it and try to get inspired. It's hard when the people who organize festivals basically control my life. I have to book shows around their offer that I can't refuse."

He adds: "It's very expensive to tour - people think that's how musicians make their money these days, but it's hard to go on the road no matter what size you are"

When asked "do you think when you play again you'll go back to theaters, or stick with arenas?" White responded, "Only seated theatres for acoustic shows for the rest of my days." Read more here.
