Nile Rodgers, the group's founding member is currently completing production on their ninth studio record 'It's About Time', and teased the exciting collaborations for the collection.

Speaking to Digital Spy he said: "Last week I played with Elton John and he was killing! I've played with Elton 20 times in my life, but it was the first time I played with him with Chic.

"So then he said, 'I would love to work with you', and I said, 'Hey, I have a song written in a four part harmony, and if you sing the baritone part, I'll sing the falsetto top and the bottom below you'. So Elton is probably now going to be on that song."

As well as Elton, Nile revealed that his blossoming friendship with Miley means the two have agreed to record together.

"I've also become really good friends with Miley Cyrus, who sings her ass off! All of this stuff just happened in the last few days, and I'm thinking, 'Wait a minute, these people are amazing. Why am I going to fool around?'

"So I just called up Miley and was like, 'Yo Miley do you want to do this?' [And she's like] 'Yeah!'"

Continuing on with the topic of the record, Nile explained that Janelle Monae has also recorded a tune and he's even persuaded Diana Ross to revisit a song written "years ago".

"I'm still going to do the song 'Queen' that I had written years ago for Diana Ross. I played it for her son Evan, who's awesomely cool, who said, 'Mum, you've got to do that song!'"
