"Jack White has claimed that the music industry is &amp;quot;crumbling&amp;quot;. White, who is in London with his band The Dead Weather, will play a free Halloween concert at Shoreditch Church tonight. He told The Mirror that he has erected a &amp;quot;pop-up shop&amp;quot; at the venue to sell limited edition vinyls. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s great that people can come down here and get something that&amp;#039;s real and tangible and not disposable like an MP3 download that you can fast-forward or throw away,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;The new generation needs to be taught about the beauty and romance of a record store.&amp;quot; White also claimed that future bands will struggle to survive in the music industry. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s a dying era right now for music and art,&amp;quot; he explained. &amp;quot;Things are crumbling. Every meeting we have with a label is depressing, and you wouldn&amp;#039;t believe how hard it is, and how much trickery goes into a band just breaking even. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s going to be so hard for bands in ten years.&amp;quot; White recently discussed his views on music in a lecture at Dublin&amp;#039;s Trinity College.
