Chris Willman Music WriterJack White’s to-do checklist was a busy one Friday: Release new album. Sing the National Anthem for the Detroit Tigers’ opening day.

Open tour in Detroit. Get married during encore.The rocker wed Olivia Jean, a singer on his Third Man label who had served earlier in the evening as his concert’s opening act, on stage at the Masonic Temple Theatre, a storied venue in the pair’s mutual hometown.

The surprise marriage proposal itself had come just minutes earlier, in the middle of a rendition of “Hotel Yorba.”Third Man’s top man, Ben Swank, presided over the nuptials, in which White’s and Jean’s bass players served as best man and maid of honor.Per the account of Detroit Free Press writer Brian McCollum, who was covering the concert by local hero White, the headliner was 80 minutes into his set and performing “Hotel Yorba,” which he’d brought Jean out on stage to sing background vocals on, when the show took a detour.

White introduced her as his girlfriend and said, “And I love her very much,” an unusual PDA for White, although things were about to get more unusual.
