Dean Fertita will join Jack White’s band for his upcoming tour dates. The Dead Weather keyboardist will be taking up the position that was previously held by Isaiah “Ikey” Owens, who passed away while the band was in Mexico earlier this month. Fertita, who toured with White’s Raconteurs project, is also known for his work with Queens Of The Stone Age.

The news was revealed today via a tweet from White’s Third Man Records:


White will return to the stage on November 7 when he heads to the Volkswagen Arena in Istanbul. The rocker will then make his way across Europe over the course of the following weeks.
