Jack White reportedly reprimanded a radio station host for playing the new White Stripes album before its release.
White called Chicago station Q101 to confront them about playing Icky Thump in its entirety over the course of two weeks. The album is not officially released until June 18th.
But DJ Electra who played the album told dotmusic how she had played the album nonetheless - and nearly made Jack White cry.
She said: “At 4pm today Jack White called Q101's main offices from Spain where they're touring, looking specifically for me, to yell at me for leaking the album and, in part, being 'messed up for the entire (music) business'.
"I felt like I was going to throw up. Weirdest, most surreal conversation of my life.
"We tried to explain where we were coming from - someone gave us a copy of a record that we were really excited to play, and the whole experience was an hour-long love-fest for him and his band - but he wasn't having it.
"He hung up, very, very angry, and I thought I was going to cry."
