White Stripes man changes name

Jack White says he will be known as 'Three Quid' while on UK tour, announcing it at the Hammersmith Apollo on Saturday night.

Jack White says he's changing his name, but only whilst he's playing tour dates in the UK. When White took to the stage at the Hammersmith Apollo on Saturday night, the singer - carrying a large stuffed bird apparently - called London the band's 'home from home' then declared that he wishes to be known as 'Three Quid' whilst on tour. Yeah, me no idea either.

A fan told NME.com "It's that old cliché of selling your soul to the devil, but Jack's guitar playing was amazing. He was a man possessed! Absolutely brilliant. The Three Quid stuff was a bit weird, but if he keeps playing that well I don't care what he calls himself!"
