WHITE STRIPES - WHITE STRIPES BACK IN THE STUDIO AFTER HEALTH SCARE

Cult rock duo THE WHITE STRIPES have reassured fans drummer MEG WHITE is recovering from a medical crisis - by returning to the studio to record new songs. The pair scrapped a series of dates in September (07) after frontman Jack White revealed his partner was suffering from "acute anxiety", adding she was "unable to travel at this time". But, according to a post on the group's website, White is well and the duo are recording new tracks. The online message alerts fans to the fact the duo has "recorded three never-before-heard original songs (with a special collaboration) and one unique new version of a song from (new album) Icky Thump." Jack White also reveals the group has filmed a new video for an as-yet-unnamed song.
