It’s been two decades since Brandon Flowers and The Killers debuted with their 2004 full-length studio album, Hot Fuss. Since it dropped, the Las Vegas band’s LP, which featured chart-topping singles from “Somebody Told Me” to the iconic “Mr. Brightside,” has cemented itself as one of the best debut albums of all time.

Travis has released a new single, “Raze the Bar,” featuring Coldplay’s Chris Martin and the Killers’ Brandon Flowers. The song recounts a bittersweet story about the closure of Black and White bar, a much-loved New York haunt for the band, recounting a fictional last night there before it closed.
“There was a great bar in New York City,” Fran Healy said in a statement. “It didn’t have a name but everyone called it Black and White on account of the black and white striped awning that hung over the entrance.

Scottish quartet Travis are back with “Raze the Bar,” the latest cut from their forthcoming album L.A. Times. This time, they’ve brought some friends along the way: Coldplay’s Chris Martin and The Killers’ Brandon Flowers.
Evoking a late night pub singalong, “Raze the Bar” is fittingly an ode to the New York City spot The Black and White Bar, which closed during the pandemic. According to Travis songwriter and vocalist Fran Healy, the bar was a mainstay for artists and musicians over the last 30 years: “If you played a show at Irving Plaza or Webster Hall, chances are you ended up at Black and White till the wee small hours,” Healy says in a statement. “One of the owners, Johnny T, looked after so many artists and bands over the years. If that bar could talk, what a story it would tell.”

To celebrate Christmas this year, The Killers have gifted fans with a new song titled “We Did It in the Name of Love.” For now, it’s only available via the band’s social media platforms.
“Santa’s got a brand new song in his bag,” the group wrote in the caption accompanying the track. “Merry Christmas!” Stream it below.
As The Killers’ subreddit points out, vocalist Brandon Flowers mentioned “We Did It in the Name of Love” in an interview with The Current published this past summer. Speaking about the song, he and drummer Ronnie Vannucci Jr. explained how it was recorded at a little-used studio in the hills of Santa Cruz, California.
“I needed to be close to home at the time; my wife was going to give birth any minute, so we just decided to rent this studio that hadn’t been touched since 1977,” Vannucci Jr. recalled.

The four-minute track incorporates ’80s synth pop and New Wave flourishes, with singer Brandon Flowers crooning over the pulsating beat. The song was released only via the band’s social accounts and has yet to emerge on streaming services.

The Killers have unveiled their greatest hits album, Rebel Diamonds, which features a newly released song called “Spirit.”
Rebel Diamonds features songs from all seven of The Killers’ studio albums, and is ordered chronologically to make up a 20-track record. “20 songs for 20 years,” Flowers says in the album’s trailer. Among some of the greatest hits on the album are “Mr. Brightside,” “Somebody Told Me,” and “When You Were Young.” The band’s latest singles “boy” and “Your Side of Town” are also featured on the album.
“Spirit” is the final track on Rebel Diamonds, and packs plenty of familiar charm for longtime fans of The Killers. Combining the band’s classic throttle with ’80s synth-pop-style keys, frontman Brandon Flowers sings, “Where does the spirit go? Is it someplace holy?/ Is it holy and free?” The Killers previously played the anthemic track live on tour, but this marks its first official release.

Ed Sheeran performed Saturday night in Las Vegas, home of the Killers, so naturally he added “Mr. Brightside” to the setlist. As an added bonus, Brandon Flowers also joined in on the performance.
“There’s this one person I want to bring out. He’s from Vegas,” Sheeran — dressed as Chucky for the pre-Halloween concert at Allegiant Stadium — told the crowd. “We’re gonna the song that is essentially like my country’s national anthem,” a nod to how “Mr. Brightside” was recently named the most streamed song in U.

Sammy Hagar joined The Killers onstage during the latter’s set at the Ohana Festival for a rendition of Van Halen’s “Why Can’t This Be Love.”
After bringing out Eddie Vedder for a cover of Tom Petty’s “The Waiting” earlier during the September 29th set, The Killers were joined by a much more unpredictable guest: The Red Rocker.
Considering Hagar wasn’t even on the bill for the Ohana Festival, it was extra surprising to see the one-time Van Halen frontman suddenly appear onstage for the alt-rock band’s encore.
“Is it too late to blow your minds again?” asked frontman Brandon Flowers. “It might keep you up. Sammy Hagar…”
As Hagar emerged from stage left, the band launched into Van Halen’s “Why Can’t This Be Love” — notably Hagar’s first big hit with his old band after he took over for David Lee Roth.

With Saturday marking the first official day of Autumn, Las Vegas’ Life is Beautiful is the last hurrah of the summer festival season.
Life Is Beautiful is unique in that it doesn’t take place in a large field or a city park, but smack dab in the middle of Vegas’ eclectic downtown, turning parking lots into disco rooms, hotels into art exhibits, and swaths of streets into stage areas. There’s neon everywhere, a giant fire-spewing metal Praying Mantis by the festival’s entrance, and fitting to the Life Is Beautiful message,...

“Mr. Brightside” may live on in karaoke bars until the end of time, but Brandon Flowers is ready to leave that phase of his band behind: In a new profile with The Times UK, The Killers frontman said that halfway into recording what was supposed to be their next album, they scrapped the project entirely.
“Halfway through recording I realized, ‘I can’t do this,’” Flowers said. “This isn’t the kind of record… I think this will be the… I don’t think you’ll see us making this type of music anymore.”
Presumably, “this type of music” is in reference to the ’80s new wave sheen of The Killers’ early albums like their 2004 debut Hot Fuss and its follow-up Sam’s Town. They seemed to tap back into that aesthetic on last Friday’s new single “Your Side of Town,” but Flowers says that these days, he’s...

American rock band The Killers issued an apology after controversial statements made during a concert in the Republic of Georgia.
The band is on a European tour that will last through early September. During their concert in Georgia, The Killers invited a Russian fan to come on stage and play drums, which the band considers a long-standing tradition.
During the bit, lead singer Brandon Flowers appeared to have called Georgians and Russians “brothers and sisters,” prompting a wave of boos and other crude remarks from the crowd though the rest of the show, with some getting up and leaving early.
The hostile response towards Flowers’ comments is largely due to the recent history between Russia and Georgia, particularly the Russo-Georgian war in 2008. Most of the Georgian population also supports Ukraine during the ongoing Russian-Ukrainian war.

John started off the two-hour concert by introducing his band members and announced to the crowd, “It’s a very, very special day today and I wonder how I’m going to approach it.”
He continued on to introduce Michael, saying, “One of Britain’s most fantastic songwriters, singers, artists was George Michael,” to which the crowd cheered.
Before he started the song he added, “He was my friend, he was an inspiration, and today would have been his 60th birthday. So I want to dedicate this song to his memory. And all of the music he left us with, which is so gorgeous. This is for you, George.”

Elton John raised the roof at Glastonbury last night in what could be the Rocketman singer’s last ever performance, and he was watched by more than 7M viewers on the BBC. The figure was almost triple that of Paul McCartney’s headline slot in 2022.
The legendary British singer’s three-hour performance drew a near-50% audience share and becomes one of the most-watched TV shows of the year so far, according to Barb data from overnights.tv, just behind Happy Valley. His performance was by miles the most-watched Glastonbury set across the weekend on the BBC, which shows wall-to-wall coverage of the Worthy Farm fest.
At the festival, early estimates had the performance as one of the most-watched of all time, possibly eclipsing Dolly Parton in 2014 at well over 100,000.

Sir Elton John delivered his final performance in the UK on Sunday at the 2023 Glastonbury Music Festival as part of his ongoing “Farewell Yellow Brick Road” tour.
The 20-song set included fan favorites, live rarities, and several surprise guest appearances. To open the show, John performed his cover of The Who’s “Pinball Wizard” for the first time since 2009. From there, he treated the massive crowd to renditions of “The Bitch Is Back,” “Bennie and the Jets,” “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road,” and “I Guess That’s Why They Call It the Blues.”
With the accompaniment of Gabriels’ Jacob Lusk and London Community Gospel Choir, John also dusted off Are You Ready for Love for the first time since 2014. Other surprise guests included The Killers’ Brandon Flowers, who joined John for “Tiny Dancer,” and Rina Sawayama, who joined in for a duet of “Don’t Go Breaking My Heart.”

It was a balmy Sunday evening on the last night of Glastonbury‘s 2023 edition and the most casual of observers would’ve been forgiven for thinking that Worthy Farm had transformed itself into an Elton John clone factory. Across the site, festival-goers were decked out in sequined knock-offs of the legendary singer’s iconic Dodgers Baseball outfit, feather boas, and oversized sunglasses befitting of the man himself.

The Killers have extended their 2022 Imploding The Mirage Tour into 2023. The tour supports their sixth and seventh studio albums, Imploding the Mirage (2020) and Pressure Machine (2021).
The band started its North American leg in Atlantic City, New Jersey on March 16, 2023, but will continue with dates in May, a European tour in August and festival appearances in September.

The Killers is an American rock band formed in 2001. Current members include lead vocalist Brandon Flowers, lead guitarist Dave Keuning, drummer Ronnie Vannucci Jr. and bassist Mark Stoermer.
The Killers’ 2004 debut, Hot Fuss, took influence from 80s synth pop and new wave and launched the band onto the international stage. It had four hit singles, including the band’s most recognizable song, “Mr. Brightside”.
Their most recent album, Pressure Machine, marked a significant change from their usual style, stripping away their anthemic tunes for a darker and more restrained sound.

The Killers have spent the past couple of weeks playing North American arenas with opening act Johnny Marr, and every night they’ve brought the guitarist out to join them for one or two Smiths classics. So far, they’ve trotted out “Stop Me If You Think You’ve Heard This One Before,” “There Is a Light That Never Goes Out,” “This Charming Man,” and “What She Said.” Check out the fan-shot video right here.
Killers frontman Brandon Flowers has often cited the Smiths as one of his biggest musical influences.

The Killers have dropped a new single, “Boy.” The song, produced by the band alongside Stuart Price and Shawn Everett, marks the first music from the Las Vegas group since the release of their seventh album, Pressure Machine, last year.
The song, which the band debuted live in July, was written prior to making Pressure Machine. The themes explored in the lyrics are actually what led frontman Brandon Flowers to create that album: “Don’t overthink it, boy / white arrows will break / the black night / don’t overthink it, boy.

Phoebe Bridgers and the Killers joined forces at the Colours of Ostrava Festival in the Czech Republic to perform last year’s collaborative track “Runaway Horses.”
It marked the first time Bridgers and Killers frontman Brandon Flowers have sung the track, which comes off the Killers’ recent album, Pressure Machine, together live. It appears to have been an exciting moment for Bridgers herself, who posted on Twitter, “Ok who got a video of me singing with the killers.”

Why isn’t “The Masked Singer” on tonight, Wednesday, November 24? Due to the long Thanksgiving holiday weekend, the Group A Finals will take place next week instead, on Wednesday, December 1. That’s when Bull and Skunk will compete against each other to win a spot in the Season 6 finale. (Fox’s “Alter Ego” is also delayed for one week.) Unlike past editions of “Tms,” this season’s two groups have been kept completely apart from each other, so much so that they won’t meet up until the final episode — that’s when the winner of the Group A Finals (Bull or Skunk) will compete against the winner of the Group B Finals (Queen of Hearts or Banana Split).

Who’s performing tonight (November 10) on “The Masked Singer” Season 6? One of the front-runners to win it all, Bull, returns to the stage on Wednesday night alongside fellow Group A members Skunk, Pepper and Jester. The last time these four singers appeared on Fox’s reality TV show, they said goodbye to Hamster (aka Rob Schneider), who received the lowest number of votes that week. Now only Bull, Skunk, Pepper and Jester remain to compete in the Group A semi-finals.

In the early days of the pandemic, just as it was becoming clear that the Killers’ 2020 tour wasn’t going to happen, Brandon Flowers found that his mind kept drifting back his formative years in the tiny, remote Utah town of Nephi. “There was a nostalgic longing in the air and a little bit of sadness,” the singer says. “I started thinking about where I was in the Nineties, and these stories just sort of blossomed out.”
Those stories form the basis of the upcoming Killers record Pressure Machine, due out August 13th.

There’s been no official announcement about his return, but the masked man at the 12-second mark is unquestionably Keuning. We’d recognize that hair anywhere.
