THE KILLERS CELEBRATE A DECADE OF (RED) HOLIDAY SINGLES WITH RELEASE OF NEW CHRISTMAS ALBUM DON’T WASTE YOUR WISHES 

Killers Photo 22 NOVEMBER 2016 (Toronto, ON) – For the last 10 years The Killers have ushered in the holiday season with a much-anticipated Christmas single, with proceeds going to support (RED)’s fight against AIDS. This year, to celebrate (RED)’s 10th anniversary, The Killers will be releasing Don’t Waste Your Wishes, a Christmas album featuring their ten previous Christmas singles and one brand new song via Island Records/Universal Music Canada, the country’s leading music company. The album will include a brand new song, “I’ll Be Home for Christmas", which is a moving rendition of the classic track in which lead man Brandon Flowers shares his childhood memory of learning the meaning behind the song from his 4th grade teacher, Mr. Hansen.  Brandon accompanies Mr. Hansen in a touching duet of the standard. The album is now available on iTunes, just in time to load up your Christmas playlists and get into the holiday spirit! To ensure maximum impact in the AIDS fight, the album will also be available as a limited edition CD, beginning December 9th, through The Killers’ website and 100% of worldwide proceeds from the sale of the CD will go to the Global Fund. The Killers have created a special website for the new album, which will host the full catalogue of Christmas videos from the past 10 years – including “Joel the Lump of Coal,” which features Jimmy Kimmel voicing Santa Claus, and The Killers’ unofficial “Santa Trilogy” of singles “Don’t Shoot Me Santa,” “I Feel It In My Bones” and “Dirt Sledding” – CLICK HERE to explore. Since 2006, The Killers have donated 11 tracks to (RED), and are the only band to have donated a Christmas track every year for the last decade. With the release of the new album, “Don't Waste Your Wishes”, The Killers’ will have raised more than $1 million for the Global Fund – the recipient of all (RED) monies - since the release of their first (RED) single.
