Brandon Flowers on the Killers’ new Christmas song

This is the video for the Killers’ new Christmas song, which was unveiled this week. And here’s an exclusive quote from the band’s frontman, Brandon Flowers, about their tradition of releasing a festive tune each year in aid of (RED)’s fight against AIDS:

“The Christmas song is always in the back of my mind. We release it every year on World AIDS Day, and it brings so much joy to this bubble that we’re in. So much is so serious: you know, deadlines and making gigs and travelling. And every year it just brings more smiles than anything else has. They’re such a blessing. This will be the seventh one, and as long as we’re going, there will always be a Killers Christmas song.”
