Elton John, a British singer-composer who recently collaborated with Britney Spears on the song "Hold Me Closer," has discussed how the partnership came about and expressed excitement about the amount of confidence the song will provide the celebrity, according to Mirror.co.uk. ‘Hold Me Closer’ is a new spin on the legendary singer’s hit song 'Tiny Dancer' is Britney's first new tune in six years. And music icon Elton, 75, admits that she "sang fantastically".

He said that his husband David Furnish first had the idea to work with Britney, 40, according to the newspaper. Elton claimed to have always admired the singer and was immediately enthusiastic about the notion of assisting her in restarting her career once her conservatorship ended last year.

Spears had reportedly announced her musical retirement in the wake of the incident, but Elton acknowledged in an interview with The Guardian that they had to ensure she was satisfied with the song's release and obtain her consent.

He said: "She's been away so long - there's a lot of fear there because she's been betrayed so many times and she hasn't really been in the public eye officially for so long. We've been holding her hand through the whole process, reassuring her that everything's gonna be alright."

Elton further said that Britney was ‘broken’ and openly discussed how he had previously felt the same way, and candidly said that he was in a “terrible place”. However, thankfully, now the singer is in the happiest palace ever following his 32 years of sobriety.
