Jack White turned 50 years old on Wednesday, and the Detroit rocker celebrated with a Tigers ballgame alongside his wife Olivia Jean and mother Teresa Gillis. White’s friend, actor and musician John C. Reilly, happened to be on hand to throw out the ceremonial first pitch, but before doing so he grabbed a microphone and encouraged the entire stadium to join him in serenade White with a rousing rendition of “Happy Birthday.” Based on his reaction, White looked equal parts shocked and embarrassed, but he seemed to take it all in stride.
In a subsequent interview with the Detroit Tigers’ broadcast, Reilly confirmed that White had no idea he would even be at the game — let alone leading an entire stadium in a singalong to celebrate his friend’s birthday.
