White Stripes reunite at Raconteurs show

Jack White and Meg White appeared on stage at a Raconteurs gig in Detroit as a prank, marking Meg's first stage appearance since 2007.

The White Stripes returned to the stage at a Raconteurs gig in Detroit on Sunday. Sort of.

Instead of returning to the stage with his Raconteurs bandmates for the encore, Jack White arrived with White Stripes drummer Meg White. The pair made as if they were about to play, before the other Raconteurs ran on stage, with guitarist Brendan Benson exclaiming "Whoa, whoa, whoa! Wrong band!", at which point Meg scurried back stage again. Those pranksters.

This is, however, the first time Meg has been seen on stage since a bout of anxiety on her part caused the latter part of The White Stripes' 2007 tour to be cancelled.
