Jack White and Alicia Keys for Bond theme

'Another Way To Die' is first duet in Bond history

Jack White and Alicia Keys are set to go down in history as the first duet to record the James Bond theme.

Following rumours that Duffy was a 'dead cert' to sing the track, the pair will reportedly record the theme to 'Quantum Of Solace', entitled 'Another Way To Die'.

According to Billboard.com, White, frontman in both The White Stripes and The Raconteurs, wrote and produced the song, and will also play drums.

Earlier this year, Amy Winehouse and Mark Ronson entered the studio to work on the theme, but the effort proved fruitless.

'Quantum Of Solace' will once again see Daniel Craig in the lead role, as he did in 2006's 'Casino Royale'.

The movie will come out November 7 in the US. The soundtrack to 'Quantum Of Solace' on October 28.
