As his new album, 'Dig!!! Lazarus, Dig!!!', is set to take its place amongst his finest work, Nick Cave has exclusively revealed to Xfm that not only has he completed another screenplay but a new novel is in the pipeline too.
Following the success of his first screenplay, 2006's 'The Proposition', Cave confirmed that he'd completed another script for the film's director."I have written a another one for [John Hillcoat] the director of 'The Proposition' but I don't know when that'll get done. I keep getting asked to do these things but for one reason or another I've been kind of not doing them...but there are certainly things in the pipeline."
When asked if he plans to write another novel - 20 years after the publication of his debut, 'And The Ass Saw The Angel' - Cave replied: "I do, actually, yeah."
Although the singer declined to elaborate as to what the story might be, he said: "I don't want to kind of spook that away but I've definitely been thinking in those terms lately. I just know the way things happen - you get a little idea about something and it then starts to grow and that seems to be happening."
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds' 14th studio album, 'Dig!! Lazarus, Dig!!!' is out now on Mute and the band play a sold-out UK tour in May.
