The White Stripes - Injuries and update

The famous rock group White Stripes announced North American 2007 tour that will support their forthcoming album. Besides, of singing in major markets, the group is planning to visit United States and Canadian areas, where they never played before. The tour had to start on June 17 by performance in Bonnaroo festival at Manchester (TN), after which the band had to open Canadian part of their tour. New Jack and Meg White’s studio work called Icky Thump hit shelves on June 19. The White Stripes’s previous album Get Behind Me Satan received a prestigious Grammy Award as Best Alternative Music Album.

The new itinerary of the garage rock duet makes up most of the shows postponed by singer Jack White's finger injury. Some of the ticket holders will have to swap their tickets and travel to different venues.

Jack White broke his index finger in a car accident just days before the White Stripes’s summer tour was to begin in support of their latest record. The break did ’t heal properly, and that’s why surgery had to be performed.

A news update on the White Stripes’s site notes that shows in Norfolk, VA and Nashville, TN could not be re-scheduled and will end up being canceled.

The White Stripes’s shows in Boston, Philadelphia and Cleveland could not be rescheduled at the same venues. Tickets for the July 20 performance at Boston's Fleet Boston Pavilion will be honored at the November 21 show at the Tsongas Arena.

But ticket holders for the July 25 Penn's Landing show in Philadelphia and the Aug. 4 show at Cleveland's Tower City Amphitheatre will have to obtain a refund for the tickets and purchase new tickets for the White Stripes’s shows. The Philadelphia-area date is now November 24 at the Tweeter Center in Camden, New Jersey, and the Cleveland date is now November 30 at the Agora Theatre.
