O anúncio festivo anual da loja de departamentos do Reino Unido sempre foi um momento que chama atenção, atraindo milhões de novos olhos e ouvidos para o artista selecionado, tendo atraído ao longo dos anos alguns nomes de peso para a trilha sonora, incluindo Andrea Bocelli, Richard Ashcroft, Lily Allen, Aurora, Lola Young e Tom Odell.

Famous songs covered have included tracks by John Lennon, Blink-182, Oasis, The Smiths and Keane.

Now, the 2026 advert has dropped and it sees Fender sharing an evocative cover of Stones’ iconic single from 1969’s ‘Let It Bleed’.

The South Shields star performs the song alongside the choir from the John Spence Community High School in North Shields – where Fender was a former pupil – and brass from the Easington Colliery Band.

O próprio anúncio conta com a vencedora do BAFTA Award e do Olivier Award, a Dama Kristin Scott Thomas [Slow Horses, Four Weddings And A Funeral], que aparece como avó enquanto procura desesperadamente encontrar os presentes perfeitos para os netos.

Check it out below, along with the track.

Falando sobre sua contribuição para o anúncio, Fender disse que foi “um privilégio reestruturar uma música tão icônica de uma banda tão lendária.”.

Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger also voiced his support for the song being covered by Fender, sharing: “I’m a fan of Sam’s work, so I was pleased to hear he was covering one of my songs.

I think he’s done a great job with it.”.

The cover will be available to buy on 7” and CD and comes backed with Sam Fender’s 2020 cover of Lindisfarne’s ‘Winter Song’ – which is now available physically for the first time.

Todos os lucros líquidos provenientes da venda do single na loja online oficial de Sam Fender serão doados ao Teenage Cancer Trust.

All John Lewis profits from each record sold at John Lewis stores will be donated to Action for Children, which helps people who have grown up in care build brighter futures.

O anúncio do ano passado exibiu o hit de clube de 1990 de Alison Limerick, “Where Love Lives”, que gradualmente se transformou em uma versão mais lenta conduzida pelo piano de Labrinth.

The John Lewis Christmas ad has become a staple of the festive period in the UK. Back in 2018, Elton John revealed that he was paid £5million to star in the promo.

For Fender, the contribution to the ad comes as he is gearing up to kick off his UK and Ireland ‘Proper Massive’ stadium tour next year, and recently added more dates to the itinerary due to demand.

Amidst rumours he’s also headlining Glastonbury 2027, the Mercury-winner has also teased that a new album is on the way.
