Roger Daltrey wants Amy & Carl for Quadrophenia

Updated 14:54pm on 7 Oct 2008


Roger Daltrey wants to turn his cult movie Quadrophenia into a West End musical - and would love Carl Barat and Amy Winehouse, to star in it.

The Who legend produced the 1979 flick about mods and rockers, and told us he would love to bring it to life on stage.

Roger, who larked around with the much taller Chris Martin backstage, said: "It would make a great musical.
