Lady Gaga announces duet with Bruno Mars

Lady Gaga has announced the shock release of a brand new single - and teased an imminent new album.

The 38-year-old chart-topping star last released a single in 2022 with the Top Gun: Maverick soundtracking song Hold My Hand.

Her most recent solo album was 2020's Chromatica which featured hit single Rain on Me with Ariana Grande and lead track Stupid Love.

Now, the star has announced a new tune will be unleashed on Thursday night - with Bruno Mars also featuring on vocals.

Sharing the single artwork via Instagram, Gaga wrote, "WHILE YOU WAIT TILL LG7..."DIE WITH A SMILE" a duet with @brunomars Song and video tonight at 9pm PT."

Bruno, 38, shared the artwork on his own Instagram grid - which shows him and Gaga sporting country-style costumes - alongside the informative caption, "Song and video tonight! 9pm PT."

While it has been four long years since Gaga released her last solo album, her Instagram announcement hinted that her seventh record could soon be unleashed.

The singer issued a duet album with the late Tony Bennett in 2021 titled Love for Sale - which followed their acclaimed 2014 duet album, Cheek to Cheek.

Bruno's fans have had an even longer wait since his last solo album, 24K Magic, which was unleashed way back in 2016.

He released a collaborative album titled An Evening with Silk Sonic in 2021 which featured the fellow artist Anderson .Paak as Silk Sonic.
