Nobody could accuse Paul McCartney of slacking off these days. Following a month that saw the former Beatle pop up on songs with Kanye West and Rihanna, McCartney now appears to be recording with Lady Gaga.

At least that’s what photos on Gaga’s Instagram page suggest. “Had a beautiful session with Sir Paul McCartney and friends,” Gaga wrote on the social media site, underneath a photo featuring herself, Macca and a room of musicians (including Pearl Jam guitarist Mike McCready). She continued: “Working on one of his many secret projects! Killer musicians, vibe, and lots of laughs.”

A subsequent photo, which featured just Gaga and McCartney, included the message: “Always a good time with my buddy. I’ll never forget when he called me last year to work and I hung up the phone cuz I thought it was a prank!”

No further details of this collaboration are available at present, although McCartney’s previous songs with Kanye West and Rihanna saw him stepping out of the spotlight. Only One featured West on lead vocals, with McCartney responsible for the organ playing and production. FourFiveSeconds, with Rihanna and West, featured McCartney as a guitar player.
