THE KILLERS’ LEAD SINGER ON REFLECTING

Lead singer Brandon Flowers said:

“The pandemic has allowed everyone more time for a lot of reflection and I was not spared from that. This album definitely began to bloom out of that. We weren’t hoping or setting out for chart-topping success, but we’ll take it.”

“You still want people to like it and be affected in a positive way. And I still have that Bono in me that wants to be on the radio. And that’s always gonna be there. I had a vision for this record and we tried to stay true to that.”
