Jack White's new band The Dead Weather may only be a few months old but it seems there has already been some infighting.

According to reports The White Stripes man and bandmate Alison Mosshart nearly came to blows after a drunken argument in a New York bar.

A witness told The Sun: “Jack and Alison went on a mammoth all-day session when they met up in New York. They sunk a lot of alcohol and ended up at each others’ throats. It was a one-off scrap and they both feel really ashamed.

“But they are over it now and have promised each other they won’t get into that state again.”

The Dead Weather release their debut album 'Horehound' on June 13.
