Elbow get into the Christmas spirit with Golden Slumbers video
Elbow’s video for their cover of Beatles’ track Golden Slumbers features behind-the-scenes footage from the making of the John Lewis Christmas TV advert

Elbow have released a video for their cover of the Beatles’ Golden Slumbers.
The track features in the Christmas TV advert for UK store John Lewis, with the Michel Gondry-directed promo showing behind-the-scenes footage from the shoot.
The ad has racked up more than 29 million views across social media since Moz the Monster was first introduced to the British public.
The track features on the band’s recently released Best Of compilation, which was launched last month.
Explaining the reasons behind the album, vocalist Guy Garvey said: “Best Ofs are a good way of introducing new fans to a big back catalogue. My first Leonard Cohen album was The Best Of, same with Fleetwood Mac and Nick Drake.
“It took ages for us to decide what should go on ours but we got there in the end. We are really proud of this, it’s full of memories.”
Elbow will head out on tour across the UK in March. Find further details below.
