EXCLUSIVE: Neil Tennant Added To Killers Elton John Christmas Single

Neil Tennant from Pet Shop Boys has written a verse for the new Christmas collaboration from Elton John and The Killers.

Sir Elton confirmed Tennant was part of the recording.

In an exclusive interview with Christo from Australian Radio Network’s The Night Show,

“I’m doing their Christmas single,” told Christo on The Night Show. “In fact I’m going into the studio tomorrow (Saturday) to put my voice on the track.”

Elton is currently performing in Las Vegas, home of The Killers.

“The track is called ‘Joseph’ and I wrote it with Brandon (Flowers) the last time I was here, and they’ve been recording it all throughout different places in the world,” John says.

“I think Neil Tennant from the Pet Shop Boys has been writing a verse, so it’s quite a collaboration.”

The ‘Joseph’ single will be released in early December.

Elton had a hit back in the 70s with the Christmas song ‘Step into Christmas and ‘Ho Ho Ho Who’s Be A Turkey At Christmas’.

This will be the third Christmas song from The Killers. Last year they released ‘Don’t Shoot Me Santa’. In 2006, they released ‘A Great Big Sled’.

Listen in for the Undercover News reports nightly on The Night Show.

The Night Show with Christo is on WSFM Sydney, GoldFM Melbourne, 4KQ Brisbane and MIXFM Adelaide.
