Jack White announced yesterday that that he got married on Wednesday in Manaus, Brazil, where the band are on tour. The statement read: "Karen Elson and Jack White were married yesterday on the confluence of three rivers - the Rio Negro, the Salimones and the Amazon - in the Amazon basin in the city of Manaus, Brazil. They were married by a traditional Shaman priest on a canoe at the exact place where the three rivers meet. The bride and groom were accompanied by a small party of close friends. The best man was Ian Montone. Meg White was the maid of honor. The ceremony was immediately followed by a blessing by a priest at a Catholic Cathedral called Igreja Matric in the historical city of Manaus. This was the first marriage for both newlyweds."
The last line is thought to be an attempt to contradict suggestions that Jack and Meg were once a married couple. It all sounds a bit wacky, but insiders are insisting that the wedding genuinely took place. Oh, and the new album 'Get Behind Me Satan' is released on Monday.
