Queen's Brian May has revealed that Lady GaGa has agreed to become a temporary member of the band.
The guitarist explained that the remaining members of the group are planning to star in a TV show where they are joined by different artists to sing some of their classic hits.
May told the Daily Star: "We were debating a TV show where we have all different guest stars sing our songs.
"GaGa actually said, 'Yes I'd like to come do something like that with you', so it's a question of timing and people's availability."
May has confessed that the band feel they need to work with other singers instead of teaming up with friend and collaborator Paul Rodgers again.
He added: "GaGa is very creative - she's not just a songwriter or singer, she's a real creator. Working with her was fun. The stuff we did with Paul was fabulous but we don't want to go down that route again."
May features on GaGa's latest single 'You And I', which has reached number six on the US Hot 100 and 33 on the UK singles chart.

> Queen's 'We Are The Champions' is catchiest song ever, say scientists
