Lionel Richie joins Jonathan Ross tonight on his 91Èȱ¬ One show Friday Night With Jonathan Ross and reveals he's behind Michael Jackson's return.

"I am so excited about this, I've been pushing him for the longest time ... get out of the house, get back on stage ... if I can get him back out there one more time it'll be fabulous," say Richie.

He also announces the Commodores farewell tour: "I promise something will happen soon." And performs an impromptu duet with Jonathan.

Michael Sheen also joins Jonathan and thinks Brian Clough (his latest role) was a genius: "I liken him to Brando – he had a disrespect that was his genius – he would have been brilliant at anything he did."

He also confirms this year he'll reprise the role of Tony Blair again, focusing on the Clinton years.

There's more chat with Vin Diesel and music from Sparks.
