Ringo Starr has revealed that he's currently working with former Eurythmics guitarist Dave Stewart on a new musical.

While speaking with Mojo, the former Beatle says that the show could end up either on Broadway or on the silver screen:

"Me and Dave wrote a musical, a complete thing - characters, story, a lot of songs. We wrote it for Broadway, but it will more likely end up [as] a movie . . . and I'm not telling you anything else. It's about other people."

Starr recently connected with the Stewart on his new album Ringo 2012.

The collaboration comes at a busy time for Stewart, who has been active as a producer in recent years. His most popular project of late was for super group Super Heavy, featuring Mick Jagger, Damian Marley and Joss Stone.
