The rumours have started - could Justin Timberlake be working on a country album?

It all began at the Country Music Awards when the Memphis born singer performed his own country-style song 'Drink You Away' with bluegrass musician Chris Stapleton.

Watch it below.

Rapper Timbaland also suggested they might be working together.

He said in an interview "we are country. He's from Tennessee, I’m from Virginia. It’s only right that we try to tap into what we was raised in... we always wanted to make country music."

Nothing's confirmed just yet though.

The 'Cry Me a River' star was recently inducted into the Memphis Hall of Fame.
