Lloyd-Webber and Barlow unite for song

Andrew Lloyd-Webber has teamed up again with Gary Barlow to pen a “little song” after the success of their official Diamond Jubilee theme.

The composer, whose new show Superstar starts on ITV1 today, hit number one earlier this year with Sing. The man behind hits including Phantom Of The Opera said he would meet up with the Take That frontman this summer to work on the song. He said: “I’m sure we’ll get together and something will come out of it. I’m quite pleased with this little song we’ve done, I’m not sure who we’ll give it to, maybe nobody will want it.”

Lloyd-Webber also revealed the cast of the new production of Jesus Christ Superstar, which includes Chris Moyles as Herod and the winner of the ITV show in the lead role, might get a crack at conquering the United States.

He said: “I don’t know that it will necessarily be this cast but I can say this particular tour is going to America. Whether we take this cast I don’t know.”
