HOME FREE PERFORMS HOLIDAY CLASSIC “I’LL BE HOME FOR CHRISTMAS” ON FOX & FRIENDS THIS MORNING (12/15)
Columbia Records’ country quintet Home Free warmed hearts this morning (12/15) on FOX & Friends with a special rendition of the winter classic “I’ll Be Home For Christmas” from their holiday album, FULL OF CHEER. Adding to the spirit of the season, portions of the performance were featured split-screen with footage from their music video showing soldiers reuniting with their families for Christmas. The time-honored holiday favorite, recorded in 1943 by Bing Crosby, was originally in tribute to the soldiers overseas during World War II that weren’t able to make it home for Christmas. Home Free is currently in the midst of their sold-out HOME FREE FOR THE HOLIDAYS Tour running through December 20 and will embark in January for their European debut.
