Elton John has treated fans to a “sneak peak” of his upcoming collaboration with Britney Spears.

The musical megastars have united for their new highly anticipated track, 'Hold Me Closer', which is due to be released on Friday, August 26.

In a short video shared on his social media, Elton can be seen singing part of the song live at La Guerite beach restaurant, in Cannes, France.

Wearing a colourful shirt and matching shorts, he sang from the DJ booth while fans cheered and filmed the performance.

It was the second time in a year that Elton has delighted fans at the restaurant, having performed his collaborative song 'Cold Heart', which features Dua Lipa, there in August 2021.

'Hold Me Closer' marks Spears’ return to the music scene, amid the ongoing legal battle over her conservatorship with her father, Jamie Spears.

As well as new lyrics, the upbeat number features lines from Elton’s 1971 hit 'Tiny Dancer'.
