Was watching Wimbledon coverage on the BBC on Monday and they did a little focus on Roger Federer; they used Bells & Circles as the music bed, The "sunlight on my wings" bit was used to glorify Rogers' admittedly glorious career/ability.
You could hear bits of Iggy in the background too, so I guess the BBC haven't been sent an instrumental. Anyone holding their breath for an Iggy-free instrumental may want to um, manage their expectations.
Must say the track has really grown on me since its release. I like Iggy (Post Pop Depression was the best Rock album of 2016) but some of the lyrics do feel a bit incongruous. I remember smoking on airplanes from when I was a very small boy. If you were in the non-smoking section, you were still effectively smoking.
New lyric suggestion: inflicting carcinogenic fumes on people forced to sit in the same metal tube as you for many hours? You can't do that.
EDIT: Oh I've just read this on the EP thread:

So, those of you who wanted the tracks without Iggy Pop may be interested in that.

Well I guess that's good news for some of y'all.
