Tinie Tempah has been in talks with Take That about supporting them on their 'Progress' tour.
The reformed group - consisting of Gary Barlow, Robbie
Williams, Mark Owen, Howard Donald and Jason Orange - will perform a
string of sold-out stadium shows next year and the rapper is keen to be
involved.
He said: "We spoke about it and I will know more over the next few
months. The tour is a very exciting prospect. I would jump at it in an
instant."
As well as being a support act to the band, Tinie also wants to work with songwriter Gary on his second album.
The 'Pass Out' hitmaker added: "Gary told me he'd love to have been on
my single 'Written In The Stars' so I asked him to be on the next
album. He is up for it."
Tinie has gone from a virtual unknown at the beginning of the year to
become a platinum selling artist in the UK with his debut album
'Disc-Overy' and he has even attracted the attention of US rap mogul
Jay-Z - who reportedly wants to hold talks with him about bringing him
to the US.
Speaking about Tinie, Jay said: "If he wants to be really, really super
successful he should come and see us. I've been hearing about him for a
minute and I'm really happy about the music that's being made over in
the UK."
