Jack White (born John Anthony Gillis; July 9, 1975) is an American musician, record producer and occasional actor. He is best known as the lead singer and guitarist of The White Stripes, although he has had success in other bands and as a solo artist. On April 24, 2012, White released his debut solo album, Blunderbuss. His second studio album, Lazaretto, was released on June 10, 2014. Both received wide commercial and critical acclaim.
After moonlighting in several underground Detroit bands as a drummer, White founded The White Stripes with fellow Detroit native—and then wife—Meg White in 1997. Their 2001 breakthrough album, White Blood Cells, brought them international fame with the hit single and accompanying music video, “Fell in Love with a Girl”. This recognition provided White opportunities to collaborate with famous artists, including Loretta Lynn and Bob Dylan. In 2006, White founded The Raconteurs with Brendan Benson, and in 2009 founded The Dead Weather with Alison Mosshart of The Kills.
In October 2021, White released “Taking Me Back”, his first solo single since 2018, which appeared in the game Call of Duty: Vanguard. White also released a video for “Taking Me Back” on November 11.
In November, White revealed that he would release two solo albums in 2022: Fear of the Dawn, which will feature White’s traditional rock sound, on April 8, and Entering Heaven Alive, a folk album, on July 22. “Love is Selfish” is the advance single. In December 2021, White announced the Supply Chain Issues Tour kicking off on April 8, 2022, in Detroit, Michigan. The tour covers North America and Europe.
“A Madman from Manhattan” , a jazzy-folk hybrid is from July’s Entering Heaven Alive.
