Singer Barry Manilow has set his sights on collaborating with Bruno Mars.
The "Mandy" hitmaker was asked if he'd like to collaborate on a song with Ed Sheeran, but he said he could see himself working with Mars more, and Manilow is hoping he'll take him up on the offer, reported Forbes.
"Yeah but I think I would choose Bruno Mars because he's right up my alley. He's a crazy performer, he comes from the kind of performing family and I just love him. That would be so great if he were interested. I met him once and it was great, we both gushed about each other but nothing has ever come out of it," Barry says.
The 73-year-old music legend also revealed that he has never been asked to play Britain's legendary Glastonbury festival in Somerset, South West England, but he is unlikely to do it.
"It's never come up but those big rock and roll festivals would terrify me. I don't think anybody would come (to see me). I'm not a rock and roll artist and that's what those kinds of huge festivals have, they have loud bands and that's not me. No-one's offered that to me.
