(Gibson) Damon Albarn is no stranger to the world of live theater. Four years ago, he and his Gorillaz collaborator Jamie Hewlett premiered the opera Monkey: Journey to the West.

Now the Blur frontman is preparing to premiere a new production, the musical Doctor Dee, this summer.

Unlike Monkey, for which Albarn worked behind-the-scenes, the singer plans to star in Doctor Dee, which is about John Dee, Elizabeth I's medical and scientific advisor. According to a press release, Dee also coined the term "British Empire" and was an "astrologer, alchemist, mathematician and spy." more on this story
