Doherty collaborates with Ocean Colour Scene

Troubled rocker Pete Doherty is set to make a record with British rockers Ocean Colour Scene.

The Babyshambles frontman, who recently became engaged to supermodel Kate Moss, has grabbed headlines in his native Britain with his drug addictions and recent stay in jail.

But the Youv'e Got It Bad hitmakers hope Doherty's band Babyshambles will support them during their UK tour later this year.

Singer Simon Fowler says: "Despite Pete's drug addiction he is one of the most talented artists around and writes amazing, poetic songs."
