He´ll release a Christmas album and cover It doesn´t often snow at Christmas.
Thnx to German forum for the information.
Elton John covering a PSB song? Good news, and good 100% royalties for the Boys, no? :whistle:
Still... It´s NOT a cover as someone pointed out here after I got it wrong.

Hey it's not a bad thing to have Pet Shop Boys being heard in the 12,000,000 Starbucks in the U.S.

You got that right :up:

I gave up hope long ago of ever having IDOSAC in my collection.
And now ,,, That Red Letter Day has arrived.

:shock:

PLUS ++ Some of the money goes to a Good Cause.

Thank You: N&C, Elton & Starbucks. :kiss:

That's great news.
At least Elton John is not covering HAPPY XMAS by John & Yoko or WONDERFUL XMAS TIME by Paul McCartney.
