In December, Richie spoke about collaborating with singer Adele after the success of their ‘Hello’ mashup.

Richie was quoted by IANS as saying: "We are going to be doing something together.

"That’s already almost in the works… I can almost say that we are talking, but right now she has a mission.

"Her mission is (to) get her record out and go on tour, so until she finishes that cycle, that won’t happen just yet. She is committed to that."

Born in 1949, Richie has sold more than 100 million records worldwide.
