Will Meg White attend White Stripes' Rock Hall induction?

The White Stripes are being inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Saturday night in Los Angeles at the 40th annual induction ceremony, where they're joining a class that includes Outkast, Soundgarden, Cyndi Lauper, Bad Company, Chubby Checker, Joe Cocker, Salt-N-Pepa and Warren Zevon.

It's the first official order of business on the White Stripes' docket since the band dissolved in 2011, after rocketing to fame out of Detroit's garage rock community a decade earlier and becoming one of the most successful twosomes in music history.

The induction ceremony raises the question of whether Meg White, the White Stripes' drummer and the band's reclusive, quiet soul, will show up to accept the honor alongside her former musical partner, Jack White; if Jack White appears alone; or if they both skip the shindig to preserve the sanctity of the band's own ending, on its own terms.

When contacted this week by The Detroit News, reps for the White Stripes had no comment, and there's been no official statement from the White Stripes on the Rock Hall induction since it was announced back in April that they made the cut. Historically, induction is no guarantee of attendance; front man Axl Rose skipped the ceremony when Guns N' Roses entered the Rock Hall in 2012; only guitarist Tom Morello showed when Rage Against the Machine was inducted in 2023.
