Stefani keen to work with Keane

Former No Doubt singer Gwen Stefani is so impressed with British rockers Keane, she wants to team up with them on her next album.

The sexy star adores the band's smash hit album Hopes And Fears and confessed it's one of the few albums she has actually listened to all the way through.

She says: "I really love the Keane record, that was the last record where I really listened to the whole thing."

Keane are intrigued by Stefani's enthusiasm for a collaboration, and are entertaining the idea.

Pianist Tim Rice-Oxley says: "We might give it a go.

"It's funny how we've gone from a situation where no-one was remotely interested in us, and suddenly we're giant megastars with people interested in our songwriting."
