Jack White Shares Sweet Birthday Post for ‘Great’ Meg White: ‘Love You So Much’

Jack White took to Instagram to share a birthday tribute to his former White Stripes bandmate Meg White, whom he affectionately calls "Meggo."

Over the course of their time together, they notched a number of hits including “Seven Nation Army,” which was featured on their fourth studio album, 2003’s Elephant. The track topped Billboard’s Alternative Airplay chart and was nominated for the best rock performance by a duo or group with vocal at the Grammy Awards, and has gone on to become a sports anthem due to its instantly-recognizable opening riff. Throughout the years, Jack has remained supportive of Meg, and in March 2023, he posted a response (in the form of a poem) defending his ex-wife after political journalist Lachlan Markay wrote in a since-deleted tweet that “the tragedy of the White Stripes is how great they would’ve been with a half decent drummer… I’m sorry Meg White was terrible and no band is better for having a sh—y drummer.”
