Nickelback star Chad Kroeger has revealed that he was invited recently to write with two members of One Direction.

Liam Payne and Louis Tomlinson were snapped with the musician and former Daughtry drummer Robin Diaz in a US studio.

It was unclear if they happened to bump into the duo or whether they were collaborating.

Kroeger has now told ET Canada that he was invited to meet the One Direction duo to riff on some songwriting ideas.

He said: "They asked if I was gonna be in town and if I would like to come down to the studio and come up with some ideas on a song, just do a little songwriting.

"I was very flattered. I'm like, 'Wow, the biggest band in the world wants me to come down and spit out a couple ideas'."

Payne only a few days before had also been pictured in a studio with rapper Juicy J.
