The Killers have revealed that they may collaborate with Mike Tyson at this year's Reading and Leeds festivals.
Tyson met the band in Las Vegas and appeared with them in their 2008 NME Award video acceptance speech earlier this year.
Speaking about their friendship with the former boxer, 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."
The Killers, Metallica and Rage Against The Machine headline Reading and Leeds 2008.
