Justin Bieber has confirmed some heavyweight guests for his upcoming new album, including a collaboration between dance giants Skrillex and Diplo.
The trio recently came together to perform collaborative new single 'Where Are U Now' at Ultra Music Festival. Now, In a radio interview with Miami station Power 96, Bieber said that the opinion-dividing dancefloor kings would be joining forces for his upcoming fourth album, the follow-up to 2012's Believe.
"I think me and these guys are going to collaborate on my next album and do something really special," he said.
Diplo also revealed that 'Where Are U Now' came about after meeting manager Scooter Braun at a New York fashion party.
"I sold it to Scooter," said Diplo. I was literally a salesman at this party. Scooter sent me a song within 10 minutes on Dropbox and it was a really strong song that Justin wrote. It was a ballad and I was like, 'Sonny, man, listen to this record. We could fuck this record up.'"

It seems as if Bieber is doing all he can to turn public opinion of him. Following multiple arrests (including driving charges, egg throwing and claims of anti-Semitism), he recently opened himself up to ridicule with a celebrity comedy roast, and appeared on Spike's Lip Sync Battle dressed as Ozzy Osbourne.
Not only that, but Bieber will be headlining Fusion Festival this summer, which takes place between 28 and 30 August in Cofton Park, Birmingham. Buy tickets, and see the full line-up, below.
