Raconteurs leader is on the red carpet for 'Quantum Of Solace'

The White Stripes' Jack White was among those who attended the premiere of new James Bond film 'Quantum Of Solace' in London last night (October 29).

The Raconteurs man composed and performed the film's theme song, 'Another Way To Die', with Alicia Keys.

Speaking to BBC News on the red carpet at Leicester Square, White admitted the song commission had placed him under "immense pressure" to deliver a good theme.

"Leading up to 30 or 40 years of songs that are so powerful and classic, it's hard to know what direction to go to except being powerful," he explained.

Along with the film's stars, including Bond actor Daniel Craig, who had his arm in a discreet black sling, other celebrities attending the premiere included Radiohead's Thom Yorke, Grace Jones, Bob Geldof plus Princes William and Harry.

Watch 'Quantum Of Solace' trailer below. The film is released this Friday (October 31).
