La Roux singer Elly Jackson has revealed that the band were forced to shelve a planned duet with Rihanna after she was assaulted by Chris Brown.
Jackson told NME the duo had been approached by several "big artists" about a potential collaboration, including Nelly Furtado and hip-hop collective N.E.R.D.
She went on to say that Rihanna was another interested party, but that tentative plans to work together were scrapped following her infamous bust-up with then-boyfriend Brown.
Jackson said: "I've had three or four offers for collaborations in America. Big, big artists. Rihanna was very interested for a time... That was weird. My A&R (artists and repertoire) man said, 'Rihanna's gonna call!'

****! I wanted to see this duet! La Roux is like one of my favorite new bands this year and Rudeboy has grown on me.
