Ne-Yo And Mariyln Manson To Collaborate

Ne-Yo is teaming up with shock-rocker Marilyn Manson, the R&B singer has revealed.

The 'Closer' hitmaker first mentioned his wish to collaborate with Manson in July. Now Ne-Yo can be heard saying: "I've wanted to work with him for ages and his people reached out to me when they heard."

"I have no idea what the music will sound like or what direction we'll take, but it will be really cool." The singer tells the Daily Star.

"We're obviously two separate sides of the musical extreme but that's what makes it exciting. People might think it's a strange collaboration, I don't. But don't worry - you won't see me adopting his style. I don't think you'll ever see me in make-up."

Ne-Yo has just released his new album Year Of The Gentleman.
