Leona, Justin plan to record duet

Leona Lewis and Justin Timberlake have apparently been lined up to record a duet together.

The pair are reportedly covering the classic power ballad 'I Will Always Love You', a number one for Whitney Houston in 1992.

"They will record the track in the next few months and are just waiting for a period when they’re both free to go into the studio," a source told The Sun.

"Leona and Justin are huge fans of each other’s music and are raring to go."

Lewis previously stated that it would be "cool" to work with the 'SexyBack' singer on his next album.

The song was originally written and released by Dolly Parton in 1974. In 1992, Houston's version from The Bodyguard spent ten weeks at number one.
