One more bit of news
Flaming Lips Triumph at T in the Park

So, Jack White gets in a car wreck and breaks a finger. The White Stripes are forced to cancel their headlining spot at Scotland's T in the Park festival. Our heroes, The Flaming Lips, agree to cover for them.

They then give the show of a lifetime, with guest appearances by Super Furry Animals!

"On a stage crowded with dancing animals and a giant sun all robed in the White Stripes traditional red/white get up they opened with a driven, dirty version of 'Seven Nation Army'. Confetti and balloons rained down. Other highlights included their tribute to Jack, 'Thankyou Jack White For The Fibre Optic Jesus That You Gave Me' and a version of 'Happy Birthday' with Super Furry Animals and REM's Peter Buck for Jack White."
