Charley Crockett says he has “lost a lot of respect” for Jack White following a dispute involving the doo-wop duo Twin Temple, which had been scheduled to open for his shows. In earlier statements, Alexandra and Zachary James said their “satanic” imagery was the reason they were removed from the bill, and Jack White publicly invited them to open for him.
Crockett responds in a new, extended statement, describing his decision-making as separate from the accusations about Twin Temple’s imagery. Across the reports, he says the group’s satanic presentation is not what led him to drop them from his tour dates. He also frames his criticism of White by claiming the White Stripes have avoided “political issues,” arguing that the difference in how the situations are handled reflects a broader disconnect.
Overall, outlets report the same core sequence—Twin Temple’s planned support roles, claims tied to their imagery, White’s invitation, and Crockett’s renewed statement—but emphasize different interpretations of what Crockett’s reasoning is and how he characterizes White’s approach.
