...Secret half sister of Jack and Meg White aka ‘The White Stripes’..
P J Higgins was born in Detroit, but denounced at birth for being the illegitimate daughter of Elvis.
In a bid to keep her identity concealed, PJ was immediately shipped by government officials to a secret commune in Birmingham, England.
Although a direct descendant to the White/Presley dynasty..It still remains a mystery as to why P J was born black?? Some blame it on global warming others on the fact that
Ma White was a constant abuser of St Tropez (Fake Tan for those that don’t know..
And YES!..It does seep into the blood system)
But as to why, her siblings suffer a rare albino like complexion, is a greater fascination to most!..
But as we proceed..
After years of silenced captivity and as prophesised in the 'Book of Rock'-
It was all but inevitable that PJ’s inherent talent and legacy would one day shine through..
With a sound equally comparable to that of her brother/sister combo..
And after suffering a life of vilification at the hands of her peers..
We find it only fitting that PJ reclaim the throne that her father left before her...
Ladies and Gentlemen..Without further ado..
Please welcome P J Higgins...‘THE BLACK STRIPE’
