Olympic gold medalist and three-time World champion Nathan Chen stars in the “Hold Me Closer” (acoustic) video by music icons, Elton John and Britney Spears.

“Elton John’s music means something to anybody who’s ever listened to it,” Chen said in a press release for the music video. “‘Rocket Man’ has always intrigued me — it’s otherworldly, but it’s just as much about our lives on Earth, love and loneliness, dreams and disappointments. In a way, ‘Rocket Man’ captures what my own journey has felt like — and getting to skate to it at the Olympics was one of the most special moments of my life. I couldn’t believe it when I heard Elton thought of me for this video. Elton and Britney created something really beautiful with this version of ‘Hold Me Closer’ — and I’m so honored to be a part of it.”

Earlier this year, Chen skated to gold at the 2022 Winter Olympics using a medley of Elton John’s hits. Afterward, John sent Chen a congratulatory tweet. Relive Chen’s legendary performance below!
