Von Bondies relieved court case over

The Von Bondies have made their first public statement about Jack White’s court case - saying "justice has prevailed".

Jack appeared in a Detroit court this week where he pleaded guilty to assault and battery. The charge relates to a fight in December last year when he got into a bar brawl with Von Bondies’ singer Jason Stollsteimer.

The group say they’re "relieved" the court case has ended and that they are looking forward to getting back "to doing what they do best: making music".

But is Jack sorry for his actions? Speaking after the hearing he read out his own statement to reporters, which read: "This was a personal matter and not a press promotion. I regret allowing myself to be provoked to the point of getting into a fistfight but I was raised to believe that honour and integrity mean something and that those principles are worth defending."
