Rock star trio make music in rehab

Three frontmen of leading British bands have bonded while staying at the same London rehabilitation clinic.

Keane's Tom Chaplin, Babyshambles' Pete Doherty and The Darkness' Justin Hawkins are all currently seeking treatment at The Priory for different reasons, and have reportedly formed a close friendship by using music to help them through their time there.

A source explained to The Sun: “They all vaguely knew each other before but when they found themselves meeting in difficult circumstances it somehow made them click. Being in rehab is strange at the best of times. But when you find yourself in there with other famous faces it’s even more odd."

“Tom was the first to play the piano in one session for some of the patients. After that Pete and Justin chipped in and suggested they write some music. Pete and Justin have struck up a particularly strong friendship and Pete has invited Justin to perform with Babyshambles this weekend," the insider added.
