French diners received a surprise this week when Elton John gave a preview of “Hold Me Closer,’ the duet with Brittney Spears that serves as her first new music since 2016.
An update to John’s class hit, Tiny Dancer, “Hold Me Closer” is expected to top the charts as did his collaboration with Dua Lipa on “Cold Heart,” which stemmed from his other hits “Rocket Man” and “Sacrifice.”
