“Hope you can still join us”

The band released a statement, “UK and Ireland friends  – we’re sorry, but there’s no way around this. These will be the same great shows, but we have to move them to next year. All tickets will be honoured, so we really hope you can still join us!”. 

The band added that lead singer Brandon Flowers was due to undergo surgery having suffered a bike accident a few years ago.

Brandon Flowers said this, “I went over the handlebars on my bike and an injury from that has manifested itself. I have a torn labrum on that (right) shoulder so I am going under the knife in a couple of weeks to get that taken care of”. 

Better news for Killers fans, as Flowers said that the upcoming album is almost finished.

Flowers said, “It’s almost done and we’re going to mix the record next week. We don’t have a drop date, but it’s pretty much done! It sort of fell into our laps.”

He also added, “Some songs are laborious sons of bitches and then some just appear. This album just kind of appeared and we’ve never had that happen. We’ve had songs appear but never an entire record like this. We’re almost confused by it, but we’re going with it and we’re really excited about it”.
