So it's finally happened, the Killers have released a full Christmas album for 2016 comprised of all of their past annual singles. If you've been faithfully following along, the only track you don't have is this year's single, a cover of "I'll Be Home For Christmas" featuring Ned Humphrey Hansen, who appears to Brandon Flowers' former elementary school teacher. Hansen actually sings a verse a capella before the band falls in behind him. The single features an extended spoken word section by Flowers reminiscing about his grade school Christmas memories in Las Vegas. Maybe a bit too much sincerity for some of us, but we have all the other songs, at least a few of which remain rock holiday classics. As with all the individual releases, sales benefit Project (RED). Only on iTunes, though a physical CD release is rumored.
