Refugee 7 Report post Posted June 9, 2008 The White Stripes returned to the stage last night (June 8) in Detroit, but alas, they didn't play any music. Coming back from the encore break of the Raconteurs' concert at the Fillmore Detroit, Jack White was accompanied by ex-wife and White Stripes drummer Meg White, who sat at Patrick Keeler's kit and tapped on a few of the drums. With the audience going nuts, thinking it was about to see a surprise performance by the Stripes, Jack shouted, "Hey everybody, this is Meg White!" -- after which she waved, got up and walked off the stage while the rest of the Raconteurs filed on for the encore. The Stripes, who formed in 1997 in Detroit, have been off the road since September, when Meg's "acute anxiety" forced the band to cancel dates in North America and the U.K. But Jack has said the duo has already started working on its seventh studio album.
