White fixated on Catholicism

The White Stripes frontman Jack White has become fixated on Roman Catholicism, snubbing his previous musical role models in favour of Christian saints.

The Blue Orchid rocker is so hooked on the faith he displays figurines of his favourite religious icons on his amplifiers during shows, much to the bemusement of his fans.

He says: "I've recently got into the cult of the saints. I've pushed aside a lot of my musical idols and put the saints up there instead.

"The church defines them as people who have definitely made it into heaven no matter what path they took. I have statues of various saints sitting on top of my speaker stacks."
