British tabloid the Daily Mail faced criticism over pursuing a local resident in Detroit after wrongly identifying her as White Stripes drummer Meg White. The newspaper tracked and took photos of someone else entirely during its effort to track down the quiet rock star. Various news organisations reported on the embarrassing mix-up. The Guardian, Consequence of Sound, The New European and VICE all broke news on the misstep. VICE labelled the situation a significant mess during the hunt for the 2000s-era star. The tabloid aimed to shed light on the musician's quiet existence yet actually shadowed an entirely separate Detroit resident.
