SHADOW PUPPETS BADGERED WHITE TO PERFORM

THE LAST SHADOW PUPPETS' frontman MILES KANE was so desperate to perform with JACK WHITE that he "bullied" the WHITE STRIPES guitarist into joining him onstage.
Kane and his bandmate, Arctic Monkeys star Alex Turner, raced backstage after White's set with The Raconteurs at Britain's Glastonbury Festival last June (08) to plead with him to play on their cover of Billy Fury's Wondrous Place.
White told the pair he had never heard the song - but they so determined to coax him on stage that they badgered him until he gave in.
Kane says, "We really forced him into it. For a solid 15 minutes, I just pestered him. 'Come on, Jack. Come on, Jack. Do it, Jack. Please, Jack. Are you gonna do it, Jack? Come on, Jack!'"
Turner adds: "It weren't the best version of the song ever, and a lot of people knocked it. But I thought it were cool! I thought it was totally in the spirit of the festival. Just the way he walked on, more than anything else. He's brilliant, Jack White."
