Pete Doherty will release music with Justin Hawkins and Tom Chaplin.

The Babyshambles singer befriended the former Darkness singer and Keane Frontman when they were all receiving treatment at The Priory rehabilitation clinic in 2006 and says the trio still plan to work together.

He said: "It's all coming to fruition now. The other week, Keane were playing in France and I came on and sung 'Karma Chameleon'.

"The thing was, they gave Tom Chaplin a piano in rehab which wasn't fair. I couldn't have my guitar. He was locked away in his room playing a piano.

energy cleansed.Pete explained to Shortlist magazine:

"They tried their best to keep me away from him - I wasn't allowed near him or his piano most of the time. It was good to meet up again in France."

The 30-year-old singer - who claims to be "clean as a whistle" at the moment - also spoke again about his determination to convince former bandmate Carl Barat to reform The Libertines.

He said: "Well, it's up to Carl isn't it? I'd love to play those songs again. I never thought I'd say this, but it's all just kind of dissolved into the past now.

"I don't feel anger. Everything that happened I couldn't give a toss about really. I badly want to play those songs, so let's get on with it and rake it in."

However, Carl has insisted on a peculiar condition before agreeing to reunite with the troubled star - Pete must have his "energy" cleansed.

Pete explained to Shortlist magazine: "He wants me to go and see his energy consultant. He says he wants to be certain that I am no longer surrounded by dark forces.

"I have a dark around my aura, and he can't be near me until I've sorted that out. I'll go see this energy guru. Why not? It might be a giggle."
