The 'Hero' hitmaker has been given the chance to join Mariah Carey, the only person confirmed to appear on the new panel so far, when the 12th series of the show returns next year, reported Daily Mail.
Rapper Nicki Minaj, Australian country artist Keith Urban and pop singer Adam Lambert are said to be approached to be a judge on the show.
Singer Randy Jackson is thought to be stepping into more of a mentor role, while producers are thinking of expanding the judging desk to include four people.
