MOSSHART SPEAKS UP ABOUT WHITE FIGHT RUMOURS

Rocker ALISON MOSSHART is disgusted by "grotesque" rumours she and her new bandmate JACK WHITE came to blows in a furious fistfight during a recent night out.
In a report in its Tuesday (19May09) edition, British newspaper The Sun claimed Mosshart had exchanged punches with the White Stripes frontman, who she is collaborating with in The Dead Weather, during a drunken bust-up in New York City.
But Mosshart has moved quickly to dismiss speculation of a violent conflict with White.
In a new statement she says, "I don't usually bother responding to ridiculous fabricated tabloid rumours, but this one is particularly grotesque. The stories circulating from a U.K. tabloid of a 'fist fight', or Jack punching me, or the two of us 'being at each others throats' are untrue."
And the star has reassured fans she still plans to hit the road with White this summer (09): "I'm just wrapping up a tour with The Kills and then I'll be back with The Dead Weather for the release of the album and a tour.
"It's a really great group of people to work with and I can't wait for everyone to hear the album."
The Dead Weather will kick off their North American tour in Louisville, Kentucky on 11 June (09).
