The White Stripes have resumed their activities after being forced to cancel all their touring commitments for this year.
The duo abandoned all their winter dates in 2007 after it emerged that drummer Meg White was suffering from acute anxiety and could not travel.
However, while there is no word on new dates, the band have announced that they have been recording again.
“The White Stripes have just filmed an exciting new video and recorded three never-before-heard original songs (with a special collaboration) and one unique new version of a song from their latest album ’Icky Thump’,” they explained in a message to fans.
The pair added that “details about release dates of the songs and the premiere of the video” will be announced via the band’s official website soon.
