Have Adele and Beyoncé teamed up with Chris Martin for a song together, in what is bound to be the Lady Marmalade ensemble banger for the next generation?
Maybe. Probably not.
OneRepublic’s Ryan Tedder has claimed he got the powerhouse performers on board to record a fresh song for the band’s next album, as he dropped a major teaser for upcoming LP Human.
The band’s frontman – who has co-written tracks for both Adele and Beyoncé – claimed that the two global superstars and Coldplay frontman feature on the collaboration, which sees the latter play piano.
Ryan told New York radio station Z100: ‘The bottom line is, we do have an album’s worth of material, and that’s the good news.
‘So we’ve been dropping song after song. Rescue Me was kind of the first … getting the wheels turning again, and we have a lot more songs to come.
‘We have one song featuring Beyoncé and Adele, with a Chris Martin piano solo in the bridge.’

The only thing is, the way he said this sentence seemed to tell us the whole thing was just a big joke. A joke that is now very, very much getting out of hand as his words are taken for gospel.
The rushed statement, the fact the interviewer said ‘I won’t twist your arm for secrets’ before Ryan just spilled ALL the ‘secrets’…we’ve got our skeptical spectacles on here and it tells us this is all just a bit of a LOL.
Still, it might happen?
The songwriter and producer co-wrote Beyoncé’s singles Halo, XO and I Was Here, and worked with Adele on her tracks Remedy, Rumour Has It and Turning Tables, so he knows a fair bit about working with these two superstars.
Still, Adele is one busy lady and is said to be preparing for her comeback with an upbeat track about her divorce, which is something Adele can definitely pull off.
The 31-year-old singer/songwriter and her husband Simon Konecki recently filed for divorce after splitting up earlier this year, and the Chasing Pavements singer is ready to move on by releasing a new song about their split.
A source said recently to The Sun: ‘The song is upbeat and is all about Adele’s relationship with her ex-husband Simon.
‘But it’s optimistic, reflective of the good times and about learning to move on from them and make new memories by yourself.
‘It has been cathartic for her to put her feelings into her music. Fans can expect to hear personal details on her album.
‘All being well, the song should be out in November but she is still working on everything.’
Adele and Simon – who have six-year-old son Angelo together – had been together for seven years when a statement was released announcing they’d called time on their marriage.
And it was recently revealed that after filing for divorce, Adele is getting ready ‘both mentally and physically’ to release her fourth album.
A source previously explained: ‘Adele feels free and is moving on with her life. It looks like the divorce will be straightforward at this stage. They both wants what is best for their son. She is definitely getting ready both mentally and physically to promote new music. It seems it will happen later this year.
‘She talks about last year as a very difficult year and she’s said in the past that creating new music is almost like therapy. You can tell that she is ready to share with her fans.’
Beyoncé has hardly been slothing around this past year, after she released her The Lion King: The Gift album inspired by the remake of the Disney classic…in which she voiced Nala.
Coldplay hasn’t released new music since 2015 LP A Head Full of Dreams, but Chris featured on the track Heaven from Avicii’s posthumous album Tim this year.
So, you know, all busy people.
