Florence Welch is heading to Broadway after writing the songs for a new musical version of The Great Gatsby.
The Florence + the Machine singer has penned the lyrics for the show tunes, which she composed with Thomas Bartlett for the theatre adaptation of the classic F. Scott Fitzgerald novel.
The Great Gatsby, A New Musical will feature a book by Pulitzer Prize winner Martyna Majok, and be directed by Rebecca Frecknall, with Warner Music Group boss Len Blavatnik, Amanda Ghost, and Robert Fox serving as producers.
In a statement, Welch said: "This book has haunted me for a large part of my life. It contains some of my favourite lines in literature.
