Today he releases the Johan Lundsten-directed video for the dark and twisted single “William Tell” Watch it HERE. Elliot says about the song ” I was always fascinated with William S. Burroughs. This song is about him killing his wife by placing a glass of whiskey on her head, trying to re-enact the myth of William Tell. Burroughs was hiding out in Mexico, facing drug charges. After her death, he went back to the States and his career really began with Junkie.”
