'Britney was broken and I've been holding her hand through new single', says Elton John

Sir Elton John has opened up on how his highly anticipated collaboration with Britney Spears came about and revealed he's excited at how much confidence the tune can give the star.

The tune titled Hold Me Closer was released today (Friday) and is the Toxic singer's first new tune in six years. And music icon Elton, 75, admits she "sang fantastically".

He admitted the idea to collaborate with Britney, 40, was first mentioned by his husband David Furnish. Elton said he has always been an admirer of the songstress so was immediately keen on the idea to help her get her career back on track after her conservatorship came to an end last year.
