THE KILLERS have released this year’s holiday treat for their fans, the Don’t Waste Your Wishes charity album, which dropped exclusively on Nov. 18 on iTunes and Apple Music. The compilation of singles — which the Las Vegas band has gifted annually as a holiday benefit for the (RED) charity, cofounded by Bono to battle AIDS in Africa — also features a new soon-to-be classic for all the little Victims out there, with a cover of the holiday staple “I’ll Be Home For Christmas,” featuring a meandering spoken-word intro about singer Brandon Flowers’s childhood.
