Amy and Pete get back to music

TROUBLED Babyshambles frontman Pete Doherty has confirmed that Rehab singer Amy Winehouse has teamed up with his band's guitarist Mick Whitnall to produce a new track.

Doherty confirmed that Winehouse teamed up with Whitnall in the studio while he was in London’s Wormwood Scrubs Prison. He told Britain’s Daily Star newspaper: “Mick and Amy have a great relationship. They have been working on material while I was in prison. When I came out I went straight to the recording studio. I just want to get the music going. We’ve been told we will be doing a third album. That will keep me busy and hopefully out of trouble.” The collaboration, first sounded out last year, is tipped to be released as a single and will appear on the next Babyshambles album. Earlier this month, producer Mark Ronson reportedly halted sessions to record the new James Bond theme with Winehouse, 24, saying he was not sure she was ready to work on new music. Doherty was released from jail last week after serving 29 days of a 14-week sentence for drug offences. Babyshambles will play a freedom concert in London tomorrow.
