Legendary performer Elton John gave fans a preview of his new track with pop star Britney Spears on Tuesday. The song "Hold Me Closer" is a new rendition of John's classic 1971 tune "Tiny Dancer." It will be Spears’ first new release since her 2016 studio album "Glory." John gave French diners a taste of the single as he took to Instagram to share an intimate and brief performance at the La Guérite in Cannes.
In the video, the "Bennie and the Jets" singer is seen giving a handshake to the DJ at the restaurant and taking a seat to prepare for his performance, as he received hip surgery last year.
John greeted the crowd while sporting a colorful matching two-piece set that had Mickey Mouse featured on the shirt design, with black-and-white striped sunglasses, accompanied by gold jewelry.
