SEE VIDEO Pete Doherty and Carl Barat to write rock musical

Singer joins forces with former band mate

Pete Doherty is writing a rock musical with former Libertines band mate Carl Barat.

London's Donmar Warehouse Theatre has commissioned the production in the hope of attracting a younger audience.

'A producer from the theatre approached me through my record label,' Carl tells the Sunday Mirror.

'So I went down there to see a play and we met up for a chat. He asked me if I was still in contact with Pete and whether we would be interested in writing a musical together.

'I asked Pete and he loved the idea. He's invited me to Wiltshire this week to start writing it.'

The production is expected to premiere in 2009.
