Lloyd Webber desperate to team up with Eminem

Andrew Lloyd Webber is desperate to team up with Eminem for a new stage show.

The music impresario is keen to collaborate with the rapper on a new project - and believes the star's knack for songwriting would make for great musical theatre.

He tells British magazine Heat: "I've got a lot of time for Eminem.

"He writes great lyrics which are way ahead. I don't know him well but I have met him and I think he's very intelligent."
