Ne-Yo would love to collaborate with singing superstar Adele.

The R&B singer is a big fan of British artists including Emeli Sandé, Labrinth, Conor Maynard and 'Skyfall' songstress Adele.

When asked by Metro magazine which UK-based act he'd love to work with the 'Closer' hitmaker revealed: "Amy Winehouse (R.I.P.), Adele."

Ne-Yo appreciates his loyal fan base and has revealed the greatest gift he's ever been given.

The 30-year-old star explained: "The best thing I’ve ever received from a fan was a thank you for giving him reason to not commit suicide (the power of music)."

Ne-Yo admitted that despite performing at large arenas in the past he prefers to play more intimate shows, explaining: ''I love being able to see actual faces and touch people. Not that arenas and stadiums aren't exquisite, but when you know you've made a difference to someone from the expression on their face, it makes it all worth it.

Ne-Yo added: ''UK fans appreciate hard work, good music and the hard work that goes into making good music.''
