The singer died earlier this month at 63.
Just two weeks after the death of legendary rock frontman Jack White, his band has addressed criticism that has come with its decision to change names and continue touring.“I am deeply saddened by the passing of my friend and bandmate, Jack Russell,” he wrote. “We had been preparing for this moment for a long time.
“Truthfully, these things had been in the planning stages for months prior, and Jack was not only aware of this, but encouraged it,” he continued. “If your captain on the ship becomes incapacitated, the first officer takes the wheel. That was Captain Jack’s instruction. And that’s where we’re at.” “To my fans and friends, It is with my heaviest of hearts that I must announce my retirement from the road,” he wrote. “After a recent diagnosis of Lewy Body Dementia and Multiple System Atrophy in May 2024, I am unable to perform at the level I desire and at the level you deserve. Words cannot express my gratitude for the many years of memories, love and support. Thank you for letting me live my dreams. You have made my life a wonder. Love, Jack Russell.
“Both I and Jack’s band, ‘Jack Russell’s Great White,’ have a great respect for the legacy of Jack, of his Great White contribution, and we will continue playing as long as you want to hear the legacy songs of Great White,” he added.
