Jack White In Bond Duet Shock!
White Stripes frontman Jack White is writing and performing the next Bond theme - a duet with R&B chantreuse Alicia Keys!
The theme track for the 22nd Bond film Quantum Of Solace will be called Another Way To Die, and will be the first duet in Bond history.
In addition to writing it, Jack also drums on the track. Maybe the producers wanted something a bit more beefy than Meg's fourth-grade tubthumping.
Keys said in May this year that she'd love to work with White: "I just think we could do something really interesting that mixes rock and soul together, the blues and emotion, and it could be really touching,” she said, celebrating the Stripes' "very raw, very cut and dry" sound.
