She is not the older sister of The White Stripes band mate Jack White, as we were originally lead to believe. Rather, Megan Martha White, born in Detroit on December 10, 1974, is Jack Gillis White's former wife and current drummer. Meg's drumming style is unique in its simplicity, and Jack has often stated that this simplicity is essential to the White Stripes' childlike aesthetic. Meg has also acted as an occasional vocalist for the band, notably with the track "In the Cold, Cold Night" on the 2003 album "Elephant". Meg made her big screen debut with the Jim Jarmusch anthology Coffee and Cigarettes. The White Stripes concert film White Stripes: Under Blackpool Lights offers an opportunity to see Meg behind the drum kit.
Despite her shyness, she did a humorous skit with band mate, Jack White on Late Night with Conan O'Brien (2003). She loves peppermints, which gave Jack, her bandmate, the idea to make it the band's symbol. She loves all things vintage and has her house filled with 50s vintage furniture. Broke her arm in 2003 which resulted in The White Stripes delaying some shows. The White Stripes have sold more 3 million albums world wide. She and Jack White were once married. When they married, he had taken on her name. Served as maid of honor at the wedding of Jack White and Karen Elson. Was taught to play drums by Jack White, a former drummer with the band Goober and the Peas.
