Elton John has teamed up with Britney Spears on a reimagined version of John’s and Bernie Taupin’s “Tiny Dancer”, set to drop on Friday, August 26. John unveiled a snippet of “Hold Me Closer” on his Tik Tok, and in the 14-second clip, Spears’ voice can be heard alongside John’s singing the 1971 hit.
Elton’s Tik Tok also seemed to unveil the cover art for the track, which features side-by-side photos of Spears and John as young children. “Hold Me Closer” will marks Spears’ first new music since Glory in 2016, and also her first new music since ending her controversial conservatorship.
John is set to embark on his farewell tour, kicking-off September 7 in Toronto, Canada. For ticket information, head here.
