Mick Jagger Gives His Verdict on Sam Fender’s Rolling Stones Cover For TV Spot
Fender has taken on the 1969 track "You Can't Always Get What You Want" for the John Lewis advert.
Mick Jagger commended Sam Fender's rendition of The Rolling Stones' "You Can't Always Get What You Want" for a festive TV commercial by U.K. retailer John Lewis. Fender recorded the track in Tyneside, his hometown, featuring children's choir from John Spence Community High School, where he was once a student, and brass from Easington Colliery Band.
The singer expressed his delight in reworking an iconic song by a legendary band and stated that he was a fan of Fender's work, praising his cover job. The single and CD, released via Polydor Records, have 100% of net proceeds going to the Teenage Cancer Trust. "You Can't Always Get What You Want" originally appeared on the Stones' 1969 album Let It Bleed and was co-written by Jagger and Keith Richards.
Fender is currently touring the U.K. and Ireland with his Proper Massive stadium tour, including three performances at London's Wembley Stadium.
