Morrissey has given his blessing to department store John Lewis by allowing it to use a cover version of Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want in a new Christmas advert.
The lead singer of The Smiths is said to be 'very happy' with the finished product.
It features a small boy getting increasingly impatient in the run-up to Christmas before it turns out he was only desperate to give a present to his parents.
The move has divided fans of the 1980s' anti-establishment band with many saying they can't believe the singer has allowed the song to be used so the department store can sell 'middle-class tat'.
One fan added: 'Please, Please is our hymn about longing and unrequited love.
'No way on Earth should it be used to sell household goods or clothes.
'Shame on you Moz and Marr! Unforgivable. You've made an old fan very sad.'
