Ne-Yo To Collaborate With Marilyn Manson

Ne-Yo is set to collaborate with rocker Marilyn Manson on some new material.

The R & B star first expressed his desire to hook up with Manson in July where he revealed; "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”, said Ne-Yo about the collaboration to The Daily Star.

"We're obviously two separate sides of the musical extreme but that's what makes it exciting,” he continued.

“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’s latest effort, ‘Year Of The Gentleman’, is out now.
