Britney Spears to return to music to work with Sir Elton John

Aug 08, 2022

Britney Spears will make her return to the music scene with a collaboration with Sir Elton John, it has been announced.

While details of the project are limited, a spokesperson told the PA news agency the new track will be titled Hold Me Closer.

It had been speculated the pair would join forces on a new version of Sir Elton’s 1971 hit Tiny Dancer.

Sir Elton, 75, shared an image on his official Instagram of a rose and rocket emoji with the words “hold me closer” on Monday.

More information will be shared in the coming week, a spokesperson said.

Rumours of the high-profile collaboration were reported by US media outlets last month.

It comes after Spears’ controversial conservatorship, which controlled the pop star’s personal and financial affairs, was brought to an end after 13 years at a landmark court hearing in November 2021.
