Lionel Richie wants to sing with Coldplay.
The "Dancing On The Ceiling" hitmaker says he is a massive fan of Chris Martin's band and they are top of his collaboration wish-list.
He said: "I love Coldplay. Those are the guys I would most like to do something with."
However, if the "Viva La Vida" stars are unavailable, Lionel would be happy to work with newly-reunited boy band Blue after recently appearing on stage with them for a rendition of his classic track "Easy".
He added: "
I'd love to record 'Easy' with them.
"It sounded really good and they knew just what they wanted. I had to ask them where they wanted me to come in on my own song, so they were down with it."
Lionel has a long list of British stars he wants to collaborate with.
He has previously spoken about how much he wants to perform with Duffy, The Ting Tings and U2.
He said: "I love Duffy, whom I've just discovered - does she write her own stuff? If she does we're on fire because she's great.
"I like The Ting Tings, I love Coldplay and U2. I want to work with them. Their diversity gives me inspiration and makes me say, 'I want to try that.'"
