Missy Elliot Writes a Musical

Rapper Missy Elliot is said to be working on a musical, which she hopes to take around the world from 2012!

The musical will be based on the lives of late and great music stars including Lisa Left Eye Lopez, 2 Pac, Aaliyah and Biggie.

Hits by all four stars will feature, along side new tracks by Timberland, Rodney Jerkins and Dallas Austin.

This comes amid news that Missy has been battling Graves disease, an incurable autoimmune disorder caused by an overactive thyroid.

After receiving radiation and taking medication with unpleasant side effects like weight gain, Elliott’s condition has stabilized and she’s even shed the 30 extra pounds she picked up from her treatment.

We wondered why we hadn’t heard from her for a while, but she has told fans on Twitter a new single is coming soon… And now apparently a musical as well!
