She's full of surprises is Madonna.

Not a woman afraid to cause a controversy or voice her opinions (let us not forget her recent claims that she knows who the Illuminati are), the singer has published the track list for her new album, Rebel Heart, which features a collaboration with former boxer and convicted rapist Mike Tyson.

He will, inexplicably, appear on a track called Iconic, also featuring Chance The Rapper. We not know not how Tyson will contribute to this works yet, but may we remind you that he did sing a rendition of Phil Collins' In The Air Tonight during the Hangover Part II (although he did later admit that he was high on cocaine when filming). He also told reporters back in 2012 that he wanted to dance and sing in a musical. He just wants to "hang out and entertain".

A number of songs from the album were released over Christmas, which Madonna somewhat dramatically called "a form of terrorism" and "artistic rape". Other high-profile names to feature include Nicki Minaj, Nas, Diplo and Kanye West.

The record is scheduled for release on 10 March.
