James Morrison is pleased to have made friends with Lady GaGa, he has told MTV News.

The soulful singer-songwriter, gearing up to hit Oxegen with his silky, saucy voice-pipes tonight, revealed that he made the Poker Face star’s acquaintance on the plane over to the Irish festival. “I didn’t realise she was sat in front of me,” recalled excited little Morrison.

“Then she got up, walked over and introduced herself!” Shocking news, we know.

In other massive Morrison news, the young scamp revealed that he’s been writing new material with a keyboard player, some of which might get an outing during his Oxegen performance. Brace yourselves, keyboard fans.
