The Killers announce Christmas album and unveil new single ‘I’ll Be Home For Christmas’

Brandon Flowers and co return with another festive treat

The Killers have unveiled their annual Christmas single and announced details of a compilation album of all of their one-off festive tracks so far. Check out ‘I’ll Be Home For Christmas’ from ‘Don’t Waste Your Wishes’ below.

For the last decade, the Las Vegas ‘Mr Brightside’ stars have released a charity single every Christmas for the benefit of (RED) in the battle against AIDs. This year, not only are they back with new track ‘I’ll Be Home For Christmas’, but have compiled all 10 of their festive tracks on to the album ‘Don’t Waste Your Wishes’.

The new track recalls frontman Brandon Flowers learning the meaning of the classic Yuletide standard from his fourth grade teacher Mr Hansen – who also accompanies him on the song.
