Bruno Mars Wants Arctic Monkeys Collaboration

Bruno Mars has revealed that he would like to collaborate with Arctic Monkeys.

The US singer, who played his debut UK gig in London last night, said he was a big fan of the Sheffield band.

"I've been telling everyone this side of London I love the Arctic Monkeys. I'd love to just get in with them and see what happens," he told BBC Newsbeat.

"I can just tell listening to their music, I feel like we have the same influences. I mean their music doesn't sound anything like mine but I just love the aggression, and - what's the best word? - the viciousness sometimes.”

Mars also praised frontman Alex Turner as a “great singer”.

Meanwhile, the singer has announced that his debut album will be called 'Doo – Wops And Hooligans'.

The US singer is set to release his much-anticipated LP in early 2011. The single ‘Just The Way You Are’ is released on October 4.
