Jazz singer Amy Winehouse and ex-Happy Mondays frontman Shaun Ryder are reportedly to appear on the next Babyshambles album.

Drew McConnell, the band's bassist, explained to XFM, "There's talk of maybe Shaun Ryder doing something on it (the album), and Amy Winehouse as well may be doing a little collaboration.

"She's a friend of ours. The Shaun Ryder one is in negotiation at the moment. Our people are talking to their people hopefully...we'll see what happens."

They also revealed that they already had 35 songs written for the album.
