Jack White (musician)

Jack White (born John Anthony Gillis on July 9, 1975 in Detroit) is an American rock musician, producer, and actor. He is best known as the leader of the rock duo The White Stripes.

Personality

White is known for his eccentric behaviour, hobbies, and passions. He is, for instance, interested in taxidermy, and interest that sprung from his days in upholstering. He collects stuffed animal heads, claiming they make him think about life and judging things. White also has an obsession with the number three and all that it represents.

The band has also created some sensation on and off the stage. The band (when on official duty) dresses only in red, white, and black, which Jack believes are the three most powerful colors in the universe. The duo also no longer prepares set lists for their shows, for they believe that planning too accurately would ruin the natural feeling of their performances. The two initially presented themselves as brother and sister, including the detail of being two of ten children. However, the Detroit Free Press, famously produced copies of not only their marriage licence, but divorce papers, revealing that they had been married September 21, 1996 in Oakland County (having the papers notarized five days later) and divorced in March of 2000 in the same county. Neither addresses the truth officially, however, over time, have become less vocal about the origins of their relationship. Jack has said, though, that siblings are "mated for life," and thus such a relationship distracts less from the music.http://www.rollingstone.com/news/story/_/id/7582742
