Meg White Quotes on people

Meg White

Megan Martha White (born December 10, 1974) is an American former musician and singer, best known as the drummer of the duo The White Stripes. She is credited as one of the key artists in the garage rock revival of the 2000s, and has been nominated for various awards as a part of the White Stripes, including winning four Grammy Awards. White's music career began when, on a whim, she played on her future White Stripes bandmate Jack White's drums in 1997. They decided to form The White Stripes together, and began performing two months later. The band quickly became a Detroit underground favorite before achieving international fame with their 2001 breakthrough album White Blood Cells. While on tour in support of the White Stripes' 2007 album Icky Thump, she suffered a bout of acute anxiety and the remaining dates of the tour were cancelled. After a few public appearances and a hiatus from recording, the band announced in February 2011 that they would be disbanding. White has not been active in the music industry since. White calls herself "very shy" and keeps a low public profile. She and Jack publicly portrayed themselves as siblings, but public records revealed in 2001 that they had married in 1996 and divorced in 2000, before the White Stripes became popular. In 2009, she married guitarist Jackson Smith, the son of musicians Patti Smith and Fred "Sonic" Smith. They divorced in 2013.
