Eminem, Jack White Release New 3-Track EP From Halftime Stage
Jack White was announced as the Thanksgiving halftime performer at Ford Field, a show that would be produced by Eminem. Jack White opened with "That's How I'm Feeling" from his 2024 album, No Name.
Then White and his band went into the White Stripes track "Hello Operator" which turned into a mash-up when Eminem hit the stage with "'Till I Collapse" followed by the White Stripes "Seven Nation Army."
For the super fans of Jack White and Eminem, they can now stream the halftime performance called 'Live at Ford Field' that is brought to you by Jack White's Third Man Records and Eminem's Shady Records. You can currently stream the show on most streaming platforms. There is no word on whether the pair will release physical copies of the performance, but I wouldn't be surprised if Third Man Records presses some vinyl copies at some point.
