Satan Exacts Revenge, Rips Jack's Throat Casey Dorrell

Some sad news for White Stripes fans just in: Jack White has been diagnosed with some vague affliction which causes an "acute vocal cord problem". Because of this, the White Stripes have cancelled the Japanese portion of their current tour. Really, where's the dedication? Ashlee Simpson kept on performing when her throat was sore! Pansy. She couldn't even sing, but she kept on going! White could at least give his Japanese fans impromtu jigs while Meg sings "In The Cold, Cold Night." Mr. White has been "instructed not to speak or sing for the next 2 weeks" in order to clear up the problem. As such, the next shows they play will be in Australia for the Big Day Out festival shows (which presumably commerate Australia Day, January 26th).
