The highly anticipated festive advert will soon be on our screens
JOHN Lewis will soon be releasing their Christmas advert.
Here's everything we know so far...
When is the John Lewis Christmas advert released?
An exact date has not been announced for the release of the John Lewis Christmas ad.
For the past two years it was brought out on November 10.
It seems that we'll have to wait a bit longer for it this year...but not too long.
The budget for the ad has been reported as £10million - that's £3million more than last year's.
Is Elton John singing the song for the John Lewis Christmas ad?
Rumours started to suggest that Elton John would be in the ad when a "teaser trailer" went viral on Twitter.
The clip shows an astronaut design bauble on a tree with Rocket Man playing in the background and a mysterious figure sitting at a piano.
But it was later revealed to be a festive prank by radio DJ Chris Moyles.
However it has been claimed that Elton John was paid £5million for his one-off appearance, which sees him playing the piano at the climax of the advert, with 1970 hit ‘Your Song’ as the soundtrack.
Other reports suggest however that the song featured will be an acoustic version of Rocket Man (I Think It's Going to Be a Long, Long Time).
