Beady Eye have covered the Elvis Presley classic "Blue Moon" to help launch the new Manchester City football kit made by Umbro.
The new kit features a soundwave graphic across the front which was taken from a 19 second recording of the club's fans singing "Blue Moon."
"I've been a City fan since I was a kid so to be involved with the launch of a new kit is colossal," says Beady Eye frontman Liam Gallagher. “Manchester City fans are known for having a lot of style and the new shirt looks mega. I love the soundwave idea and the Mod-inspired collar looks proper smart.”
“'Blue Moon’ is a top tune and has been City's song for as long as I can remember,” adds Liam. “It's been covered by loads of people but the only good one until now was the one Elvis did. I hope the fans buzz off our version and sing along to it at the stadium.”
To celebrate the launch, Beady Eye have joined up with director Charlie Lightening to record a video for their version of “Blue Moon” which segues into their new single “The Beat Goes On.”
