Joe Strummer's widow has revealed artist Damien Hirst is to co-produce a new book detailing lyrics, drawings and mementoes left by the Clash singer.
Lucinda Mellor says she found a whole room's worth of untouched material at their home, collected by Joe on his many tours, following his untimely death on 23 December 2002.
She now wants the material to form the basis of a book, which Joe's friend and celebrated British artist Damien Hirst will also work on, with the prospect of a new album of rareties also being mooted.
"It's not something that's going to be rushed into; it's going to be beautifully done," she tells today's Independent, her first interview with a British newspaper since Strummer's death.
"It'll be like an art book, with photographs, lyrics, drawings, maybe unreleased songs, rarities. It'll have CDs in it, rare Joe stuff – we'll see what we've got."
