Neck injury forces Jack White out of the MTV Europe Music Awards.
The White Stripes frontman Jack White has been forced to withdraw from the MTV Europe Music Awards because of a slipped disc in his neck, it has been reported.
According to the Sun the injury means he will not be able to perform with Rn'B songstress Alicia Keys, with whom he recorded the theme tune to the new James Bond film.
It would have been the first live rendition of Another Way To Die but doctors' orders have scuppered the plans, the news provider claims.
An insider told the publication White was eager to play at the event but lost the race to recover in time.
"Jack's still in a lot of pain. He hoped it would have cleared by now but the injury is refusing to heal," the source said.
Nominees for awards at the show include Coldplay, whose Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends record is in the Album of the Year category and U2, who have been named in the Best Act Ever section.
