Jack White celebrated his 50th birthday with his wife, Olivia Jean, who presented him with his very first mobile phone.
The 12-time Grammy winner took to his Instagram to share the gift with his fans, posting a series of pictures of himself holding his new black-cased phone.
“Well y’all it’s either all over for me now or just the beginning. I am now the reluctant owner of a cellular telephone for the first time in my life!” he captioned the photos.
Thanking his wife of four years for the thoughtful present, White continued, “A lovely 50th birthday present courtesy of my gorgeous and thoughtful wife Mrs. Olivia Jean (who took these photos as well.)”
He even quipped, “I’ve been saying that my days were numbered for years, can’t listen to my music in my car, can’t park at a parking lot by myself because of QR codes, etc. etc. and I guess Olivia decided to be kind and put me (and all my loved ones) out of my misery!”
The “Fell in Love With a Girl” singer also added, “I thought if I could make it to 50 years old at least without ever having one that I could be proud of myself, and I am.”
For those unaware, the American guitarist had previously stated, according to Reddit, that he didn’t own a phone because he disliked carrying things and wanted to avoid being tethered to technology.
Jack White concluded his caption with, “Can’t wait to talk to you all soon. My phone number is the square root of all of our combined social interaction times Pi. –JW III”
