Wiki |
Megan Martha White (born December 10, 1974 in Grosse Pointe Farms, Michigan), is best known as the drummer and backing vocalist of the Detroit rock band The White Stripes. The two-person band formed in 1997. Her struggle with anxiety disorder resulted in the cancellation of their 2007 tour, although she has given live performances since that time.
Meg White was born in Grosse Pointe Farms, Michigan, to Walter Hackett White Jr and Catherine White, and grew up in the Detroit area with her parents and sister, Heather.
White is, by her own admission, "very shy" and gives few interviews. Because of this, when the band is interviewed, Jack White will do most of the talking. In her time away from the band Meg enjoys photography and amateur taxidermy. Animals are also something of a motif in her photography (mainly album covers and music videos). Among those photographed with her are a snake, rats (the video for "Hotel Yorba" and the back cover of Elephant), a cow, rabbits , and raccoons (the 7 inch cover of the "Denial Twist single").
