Babyshambles star Pete Doherty has been working on new material with former Blur guitarist Graham Coxon.

Doherty's Babyshambles band mate Adam Ficek told XFM that he had been ordered to remain secretive about the collaboration – but was forced into revealing Coxon's name.

"It's not just musical with Graham, it's this whole sonic environment he creates and that's what has brought a really special edge to Peter's solo album...it's really interesting," he said.

Doherty recently published a YouTube video which showed him and Coxon covering Blur's 1997 track 'You're So Great'.

Doherty has been working on the as-yet-untitled solo album for over a year. It has yet to be given a release date.
