US singer Britney Spears is delighted to be collaborating with British pop star Elton John. She was overwhelmed, she wrote on Twitter.
US pop singer Britney Spears (40) shared her anticipation about a song she shared with Elton John on Twitter. “Okie dokie… my first song in 6 years!” the singer wrote on Wednesday.
It was “damn cool” that she was singing “with one of the most legendary men of this era,” she said, linking Elton John. “I’m kind of overwhelmed… this is a big deal to me!”
At a surprise performance on Tuesday on the Côte d’Azur in Cannes, Elton John had already presented the song “Hold Me Closer”. It’s a remake of his title “Tiny Dancer” from 1971. “Britney Spears, Elton John, let’s go,” the 75-year-old called, according to a report in the newspaper “Nice-Matin” at the start of his unannounced short concert. He also announced that the song will be released on Friday.
Spears continued on Twitter that she is meditating a lot at the moment and is learning to see every day as a fresh start. “Yes, I choose happiness today. I tell myself every day to let go of the hurt bitterness and try to forgive myself and others for what may have been hurtful.”
The cooperation with the British superstar is a musical comeback for Spears, it had already been said in media reports. The singer has been under guardianship since 2008 after she collapsed mentally due to personal and professional problems. In September last year, a judge finally relieved the father of his guardianship. In November, the singer regained full control of her life.
