Jack White seems to be willing to let bygones be bygones, as the musician has officially apologized to The Black keys for his criticism of them.
Jack White posted a long letter entitled "An apology and explanation from Jack White" his official website to clear the air between him and The Black keys as well as clarify comment he made about other artists. Notably, he wished the band massive success.
"I wish the band the Black Keys all the success that they can get," he stated. "I hope the best for their record label Nonesuch who has such a proud history in music, and in their efforts to bring the Black Keys songs to the world. I hope for massive success also for their producer and songwriter Danger Mouse and for the other musicians that their band employs."

He mentioned that his words came out a lot more negative than he had meant it to be. He also clarified that he meant no harm to Amy Winehouse, Duffy, Lana del Rey, and Adele.
"This is an apology to anyone I've offended with my comments about my creativity, their creativity, and the music business in general…God bless the Black Keys, Danger Mouse, Adele, Meg White, and anyone else I've spoken about, and thank you for understanding. Good fortune to all of them, and I'm sorry for my statements hurting anyone," he concluded.
His apology comes after he had previously accused The Black Keys of copying him in a Rolling Stones interview.
"There are kids at school who dress like everybody else, because they don't know what to do, and there are musicians like that, too," he says in the interview. "I'll hear TV commercials where the music's ripping off sounds of mine, to the point I think it's me. Half the time, it's the Black Keys."
The feud extends even further than this, as the Black Keys drummer Patrick Carney previously said that Jack White "sounds like an a*shole" after series of emails from Jack White revealed him criticizing the band.
