She gets inspiration from Andrew Lloyd Webber

Tori Amos has announced she is writing a musical.

The singer says that she is embarking on the project which is set for the West End and Broadway when it is completed.

“I think I am writing a musical. I’m gushing but I’m under lock and key," she explained. “I’m trying to be Lloyd Webber and Rice. I’m trying to be both (of them). I’m busy. This is such a big project - a double record, 23 songs and the extras.”

Amos has revealed one song title, reports Me-me-me.tv.

She said: “You need to hear ’Smokin’ Joe’ - (it’s) about how to kill a man.”

Amos has recently released her new album ’American Doll Posse’.
