Bryan ditches his Ferry for a pirate ship...
Mike_Diver by Mike Diver August 7th, 2006

Bryan Ferry and Bono have agreed to work with Pirates of the Caribbean star Johnny Depp on an album of sea shanties. We shit you not.

A selection of the songs will feature in the final of the three Pirates... movies, due for release in May next year. DiS saw the second one t'other week - both our brain and bum went numb.

Depp had hoped to involve Keith Richards, too, but The Rolling Stones guitarist's recent coconut tree-related accident put pay to that plan.

No release date has yet been set for the as-yet-untitled album of pirate sing-alongs... says us, see comments.
