The Killers recently wrapped up a residency in Las Vegas celebrating the 20th anniversary of ‘Hot Fuss’, where they played the classic record in full and performed ‘Uncle Jonny’ for the first time in eight years.

The first show of the run saw the group debut their latest single ‘Bright Lights’, which was released last month.

The song arrived almost a year after The Killers’ previous track, ‘Your Side Of Town’, and reunited all four original band members. In 2021, The Killers told NME that they may all regroup on their next record for the first time since 2017’s ‘Wonderful Wonderful’.

Last summer, however, Flowers revealed that he had scrapped a new Killers album.

In December 2023, the frontman explained to NME: “The goal has always been to get all four original members to take ownership and be proud of what we’re doing, but it’s so difficult with all four of us living in different cities.

“It’s not impossible. It’s weird to be talking to you about it, but I’d definitely like to do that.”

This summer, the band headed out on their UK and Ireland ‘Rebel Diamonds’ best-of tour – including a six-night residency at London’s O2. They also made headlines during the latter after pausing the gig to watch England’s semi-final victory at the Euros.

Speaking to NME about the moment in July, Flowers said: “It happened to be going on while we were playing a gig, so we just wanted to do something special for the fans, and it ended up being something that timed out really well. You can’t really make anything happen like that. It was a lot of luck.”

In other news, Brandon Flowers has contributed to James Bay’s new single ‘Easy Distraction’.
