Britney Spears makes musical comeback with Elton John
Britney Spears is set to make her long-awaited return to the music scene by collaborating with Elton John on a new song.
While rumours of the collaborations have been circulating for several weeks, a spokesperson confirmed the news to the PA news agency earlier this week.
Britney and Elton’s collaboration project will be a track titled Hold Me Closer, which is rumoured to be an updated version of John’s 1971 single Tiny Dancer.
Elton hinted at the collaboration on Instagram as he posted an image of a rose and rocket emoji alongside the title of the song.
The return to the music industry for Britney comes as she continues to battle her father, Jamie Spears, in court over alleged misconduct during her conservatorship of nearly 14 years which controlled aspects of her finances and personal life.
Spears' conservatorship was set up in 2008 after the US pop star, known for hits like Oops I Did It Again! and Toxic, faced a public mental health crisis.
For Elton, the highly-anticipated news of the collaboration track comes as he continues his global Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour.
