The Killers have asked Mike Tyson (dubbed The Baddest Man on the Planet) to duet with them when they play the Reading and Leeds festivals later this year.
Tyson first hooked up with The Killers at a karaoke bar in Vegas and appeared on stage with them in their 2008 NME Award video acceptance speech.
Speaking about how the odd duet got started, the band told NME: "We first met him in the Asian quarter of Vegas.
"We were all hoarding the karaoke space. Then in walks Mike Tyson. You could just tell he was up for a bit of karaoke. He just had that look in his eye, y'know?
"So it was kinda love at first sight. Me and Mike did 'I Wanna Dance With Somebody' by Whitney Houston, and then afterwards we shared a plate of Asian delicacies. All of that is true."
When asked what they would perform with Tyson, the group said: "A duet on [Joy Division's] 'Shadowplay' would be cool.
"He brought up doing 'I Wanna Dance With Somebody', but I don't think it'd work with our band."
