The last scene from Emmett Malloy's 2009 documentary: The White Stripes Under Great White Northern Lights.
Malloy was quoted about this scene in an article for Voice Film:
"This band's always been pretty mysterious, even for me," Malloy said after the screening. "We show more than you're used to getting from them, but you're still left with lots of questions, and we were very conscious about keeping that mystery alive." Pursuant to that, all he'll say for Meg's tears is that the scene was shot two hours after the after party for their 10th anniversary show. "It was the highs and lows of ten years coming out that night. They were good tears, that's for sure." They're infectious tears, too--I couldn't hold back my own while watching the scene.

Vague, no? Perhaps there's more to it. Part of me hopes we never find out.
=== February 2, 2011 ===
Jack and Meg officially announce the end of The White Stripes.
Full text of their address:
The White Stripes would like to announce that today, February 2nd, 2011, their band has officially ended and will make no further new recordings or perform live.
The reason is not due to artistic differences or lack of wanting to continue, nor any health issues as both Meg an Jack are feeling fine and in good health.
It is for a myriad of reasons, but mostly to preserve what is beautiful and special about the band and have it stay that way.
Meg and Jack want to thank every one of their fans and admirers for the incredible support they have given throughout the 13 plus years of The White Stripes' intense and incredible career.
Third Man Records will continue to put out unreleased live and studio recordings from The White Stripes in their Vault subscription record club, as well as through regular channels.
Both Meg and Jack hope this decision isn't met with sorrow by their fans but that it is seen as a positive move done out of respect for the art and music that the band has created. It is also done with the utmost respect to those fans who've shared in those creations, with their feelings considered greatly.
With that in mind the band have this to say:
"The White Stripes do not belong to Meg and Jack anymore. The White Stripes belong to you now and you can do with it whatever you want. The beauty of art and music is that it can last forever if people want it to. Thank you for sharing this experience. Your involvement will never be lost on us and we are truly grateful."
Sincerely,
Meg and Jack White
The White Stripes

The interaction between Jack White’s vocals/guitar and the way Meg White answered him on drums was as snappy & cutting as the dialogue in a Bogart-Bacall movie. Meg was the perfect drummer for the White Stripes, listening to and playing off Jack White better than anyone else. The body language, the glances between them, were a theater all their own. Jack sits at a piano. Meg sits silently next to him, head bowed, mouthing the words. There is a glance from Jack, and Meg begins to cry.

Thx a bunch! :) I didn't see tears though, but if i did, it'd be unbearable!! For some odd reason though, I feel I have to see a tear... IDK why.
I've seen a video on Conan where they did the song "We're Gonna Be Friends" & he near breaks down... & another one w/ the Dead Weather- Jack has that hat on w/ the feather in it- one part, he suddenly looks as if he's randomly going to crack... it's SO gutwrenching to watch!

Meg suffered panic disorder and acute anxiety. They canceled the rest of the canada tour and shows in us and uk. Never were they to play again :( That's probably the reason for the tears

Does anyone notice if they both cry? I see the expression on Jack's face, as if he's trying to hold back his tears, & his voice is rather wobbly.
But when Meg cries, it makes me almost cry- & if I watch the vid w/ the volume on, then, I'll cry! m.___.m

Oh God... It's obviouslly that they love each other, but maybe not in a romantic way... They are soul mates, but they don't have to be IN love with each other. God, God, God... Divorces are difficult...
And did you see that Jack's curl on his face? It was soo sweet...

3:40-3:47, I think Jack was holding back tears. Anyone else think so?
