Singer Sonu Nigam in a recent podcast spoke about his international journey and how he once performed with Michael Jackson’s brother Jermaine Jackson.

In a conversation with Komal Nahta, Sonu spoke about the time when he met Jermaine in USA and how they ended up performing at IIFA. "I met Jermaine Jackson by chance in America. It was the time after Michael Jackson had passed away, and I had composed a song on him while crying. Till date, people love that song,” he said.

“We sang it at IIFA as well. If you see the video, you’ll see people were spellbound,” he added. He also spoke about his collaborations with international singers, "I had the opportunity to sing with Britney Spears for one of her albums. When I was on Twitter, she used to follow me, then I left Twitter. I did a song with Avicii. I also did a very good song with Polish singer Natalia. If I would’ve lived there, I could get more opportunities, but staying in India, having got these many chances is enough."

Sonu is also coming up with a new song 'Oh Tabassum' in the upcoming Sunny Deol, Preity Zinta, and Shabana Azmi starrer Batwara 1947.
