The flamboyant UK pop star, who has earned many comparisons to Freddie Mercury since his emergence 12 months ago, is in discussions to appear with the Queen guitarist.

A UK tabloid claims this morning that if the collaboration doesn't come off he may appear alongside Rufus Wainwright at the prestigious annual music shindig.

A 'source' explained: "Mika is already guaranteed for the event but he's still in talks about who to duet with.

"He knows how to put on a great show on his own - but with either Brian or Rufus on stage next to him he would blow the roof off."

The Brits 2008 will take place at London's Earls Court next February.
